Doing my 3rd brew this coming weekend, and plan on doing a late extract this time around, but had a few questions.
I'll be brewing AHS Bavarian hefe kit, which has 6# DME. I was thinking I'll add the lme at 60, and the DME at flame out. Any foreseeable problems with this?
I have read that doing late extract can increase the bitterness of the beer. Is this accurate? How can I adjust the kit to account for the extra bitterness? Or should I just follow the hop schedule in the kit?
And lastly, It will be my first time using an immersion worth chiller. How can I keep lme and DME from gunking up the chiller lines and making a sticky mess? It seems to dissolve pretty quickly when I do normal addition, so I'm not even really sure this will be a problem. I suppose I can pour more slowly than usual and only in the center, giving me a bit of room to stir.
