i got my austin homebrew belgian white-extract recipe kit, and i'll be brewing it tomorrow. it will be my first homebrew. i've read the instructions a ton, read up on my books, and online, studied my equipment so much it's making SWMBO crazy.
something i don't know the right answer to though. all the grains appear to be already in a grain bag, the kit came with a bag with a little thing of 1oz of hops, a little baggie with the orange peel, and coriander mixed together, and a big mesh bag with all the grains pre mixed in it i assume, and a small white pail that i assume must be my malt extract.
i'm confused about two things.
first off, the instructions say "add the malt extract and any additional sugars listed below: 4 1/2 lb wheat extract, 1 lb extra pale extract."
so do i have to buy those two "additional" things? are they all mixed up together in the little white pail?
2nd, the instructions tell to add the bittering hops, and the flavoring hops, (orange peel, coliander) and to add the aroma hops, but do i just throw all those coriander seeds, hops, and orange peel into the wort, and let them sink to the bottom? or do i put them into a 2nd nylon bag?
thanks guys for all the help!
