What are your thoughts/experience/preference with regards to first wort hopping?

Also has anybody here tested it out by brewing the same recipe twice, once using FWH and the other not?

I haven't done any experiments that way, but I use it a fair bit, in most of my hoppy German ales, and sometimes my IPAs too.

I don't think there is a beer I brew now that I don't FWH. Just easier for me, as I mash out I can throw it in and forget about it. One last thing to forget.

I FWH as well... like Keith, it's just out of convenience

I've tried it - don't have a preference.

I FWH for everything now. brewed the same recipe twice don't know if it tasted any better but hop additions prior to the boil tend to equal less boil overs = less cleanup = better beer or at least less cleanup
