I'm currently reading Palmer's book How to brew. I'm at Chapter 7 : Boiling and Cooling and he has this step by step process of boiling, using a recipe.
One thing that got me confused is the fact he uses 2 kinds of malt extract, dry and liquid.
At page 81, before boiling the wort, he says to add dry malt extract. Then in page 83, with 5 minutes remaining after the 1hr count, he says to add the remaining liquid malt extract.
Why is he using these two? Couldn't he simply go with one or the other?
I don't get it.
