Ok, so I just got back from my lbs and picked up a Racer 5 clone extract kit (woohoo!). Heard good things about it and since its not available in my state I thought id give it a go.
Here's my question, ive heard late extract addition helps in a variety of ways, inluding hop utilization and keeping your beer a lighter color. Both of which I would imagine would benefit an IPA. This kit came with both a bag of DME and LME. I was going to add one at the beginning of my boil and the other at 15 minutes before end of boil. Which one should I add first/last or does it matter?
Or, should I just add it all in the beginning like the kit calls for?
Thx
