This has cropped up from time to time and I wanted to know why. Some recipies say to add (for example) 3lbs of dry malt extract and bring to a boil, then as a late addition add 3.75 lbs of liquid malt extract.
Is there some reason that this must be done? I try not to use liquid malt extract (don't quite know why) can I just substatue with dry malt extract and still do the late edition or can I even just skip the late edition and add it right before I boil. Is the late edition to compinsate for lost enzymes or something?
(side question, what's a good "roiling boil" temp? 190 degrees?)
