I am trying to tweak my technique to get the best beer out of my partial mash brews. I am using late addition extract and full boils. Since I am doing this do I need to alter the amount of hops I use from the recipe? I know that conventional thinking is that hops utilization is not affected by wort gravity. The wort will have the sugars from the partial mash so its not like the hops are being boiled is straight water.
I was considering adding the LME at flame out. Is there any reason not to do this? I have read multiple threads that suggest boiling the LME for 15 minutes is necessary to sanitize it. Again conventional thinking on boiling water to purify it says that once it has boiled for 1 minute it is good. A max of 3 minutes at high altitude is all that is necessary.
