If I steeped .75# of specialty grains in 2 gallons of water in my brewpot at 155 for 30 minutes, could I remove the grains, and add 2 more gallons of cold water then bring the approximate 4 gallons of wort to a boil for my 60 minute boil?
Cool, that's good to know. I also read something that was posted on this forum about adding some of the malt extract at the beginning of the boil, then adding most of the rest of it at flameout and letting it sit for about 10 minutes. Is this recommended?
I put together a recipe for a pale with 35 ibu and a lot of late hop additions for flavor/aroma. I was thinking the late extract would do 2 things.
1. Keep the extract from caramelizing and allow me to make a lighter beer
2. Keep away any "extract taste" and make the beer taste a bit fresher.
3. Impart my calculated ibu instead of an ibu slightly lower due to a partial boil
I have a 5 gallon pot. I'm hoping I can do a 4 gallon boil with 7 lbs lme if I do late extract addition
Thanks for the replies.
