my advice...and only my opinion.
for your first go maybe dont bother adding hops at the end of the boil...or after.
do it all during the boil.
Always the chance of over hopping or getting an infection doing it at a later stage.
I have done the Smurtos JSGA about 10 times now BIAB and have not done the 0 min hop addition most of the time.
You will get a very good easy drinking beer.
start tweaking your brews as you get a bit more confidence and a bit more of a handle on what you are doing.
start with smaller hop additions ( ie 5-10 grms ) at "flame out" when you do start .
I over hopped one batch and fucked it with the 0 min addition.
Tipped it out in disgust.
and as NickJD advised me to do....write everything down in a little notebook as you go.
It has been very helpful.
