So I have an extract brew that I make that is very popular amongst family and friends. I have made varying adaptations of it for awhile,but not with the same overall results.
Recipe is a Blackened Vanilla Stout using Cluster for bittering and Kent Goldings for aroma.
I decided to brew 2-5 gallon batches to get it stocked up for later this spring.
Batch 1 I mistakenly added the aroma hops at the start of the 60 minute boild and the bittering at the 20 minute left mark. Realizing the mistake I let it boil an additional 20 minutes to let the bittering hops work. Not sure if that was a mistake or not.
So my questions are.
1) how much of a difference will this make overall?
2) should I rack them together into secondary(s) to let them meld together..or just leave them alone and live with whatever batch 1 comes out like?
