It was my b-day last week anyways got a completely stainless steel turkey fryer and pot to start doing full boils! (sweet)
I am still doing extract and will do a few batches for sure, (plan on doing all grain sometime just have to research more and get the coolers and get them ready)
Anyways I will be making ro purchasing a wort chiller (have to go price out copper and see if it is worth making one than buying). With full extract boils I have heard your hop utilization can go up by 10 to 20 percent, so you have to adjust your hops especially if you buy a kit. Has anyone did this before or NOT did this before.
If it is like a 10 percent more bitter beer I donth think I would mind but 20 may be getting up there and I am worried about other bitterness and flavor changes.
Anyone move to full boils for extract brew have any tips on the hop utilization?
Or when doing full boils any type of late extract additions to make the beer even lighter in color?
I have never heard about late extract on a full boil but was curious what you guys though about adding maybe half and then the other half towards the end on a full boil, or would that be a bad idea?
