Im getting ready to Going Extract brewing (Brewers Best Irish Stout
)
Have some Question though.
Since I am limited on space, in regards to where I am fermenting
and very little space for condition a bunch of bottle, I have cut my kit in half.
I won't be using the hops provided except for what is in the Extract, (I dont like bitter beer) But I will be using the finishing hops for aroma and flavor.
(Sorry guys, I'm just not a hop head)
In regards to brewing time, if im not using the bittering hops, how long do i keep the brew on the heat? Do I need to bring it to a boil?, and when do I add the finishing hops?
Thanks much,
Oh yea, and do they make 3 gal. primaries for smaller batches or is it ok to use my 5 gal primary?
thanks much,
Jeffery
