First Wort Hopping when splitting brew day

Brewing Processes
1

Years ago I used to mash and sparge on a Friday’s eve, then boil and pitch the next morning.  Worked very well.  Eventually got away from it, and since then, discovered first-wort hopping, which I really like for some beers.

I’ve been thinking of getting back to the spit-day brew session and am wondering if I should first-wort hop at the beginning of the sparge (thus leaving the hops in the wort all night until the next mornings boil session) or put them in first thing in the morning before bringing the wort up to a boil?

Has anyone done this?  I guess I’m a little worried about getting an over-vegetal or over-bitter character from the hops sitting in the wort so long.  I use pellet hops.

Thanks!

Think I’d wait until I was heating for the boil and FWH when the wort reached the mash temperature range.

I do overnight mashes (love it) and I add the hops right when I turn on the flame for the boil.

Thanks for your thoughts.  I think I’ll put the FWH hops in when I start to heat to a boil on the second day.
