I plan on having a brew day today . I want to change up my technique a little bit and do a late addition since I will be making a lighter beer. My kit came with two 3.3 lbs. containers of LME. I have seen many different recommendations of how to do the late addition. For example 1/2 at initial then 1/2 at 15 minutes, 20% at initial 80% around 20 minutes, and all other sorts of combos.
Does it really matter how much. I know I want to have some extract to aid in hops utilization. So does this plan sound right, my first 3.3 lbs of wheat LME at the initial boil, then the second 3.3 lbs of pilsner extract with about 15 minutes remaining?
