I've been doing 2.5 gallon batches inside the condo since I don't have the risk tolerance of firing up a burner on my all wood rooftop deck.

Have you added any hops at flame out? I like to do a big hop add at the end of the boil usually 2oz or so in a 10gal batch and let it steep for about 20 minutes. Adds a nice hop flavor.

Ive done FWH as well but havn't been able to tell a huge difference but I have only tried that a few times.

Right now on tap I have a Saison, an APA, a Habanero Stout, and a hoppy wheat beer.

In fermentation I have Belgian blonde that I split a 10gal wart and did half with Belgian yeast and half with a bohemian pilsner yeast. The grain bill seemed close enough to e to make a pils with it. Should be interesting.
