Hello, I'm making my second batch, (the first is in secondary)...It's the Brewers Best Irish Stout. Just wondering if anybody has any advice or tips beyond the instructions that come with it....Here's what the instructions say:
!. Sanitize
2. Steep grains in 2.5 gallons water for 20 minutes
3. Boil and add LME, DME, Maltodextrin
4. Add bittering hops.
5. Boil 55 min
6. Cool
7. Add water to equal 5 gallons
8. Pitch Yeast (I'll rehydrate first)
9. Put in bucket and seal (I'll use a blowoff tube
Should I pre-boil 3 gallons and put in the bucket prior to everything else or should I wait till I add the wort adn then add water to it.
Also should I strain the wort or just dump everything in there?
I plan on leaving this one in primary for 4 weeks and then bottling...
Thanks!
