I was just reading through Palmer's recipe for the Cincinnati Pale Ale I brewed on Saturday morning and realized I was supposed to add half of the malt extract in first, and then the rest near the end of the boil. But I just dumped it all in to start with (~6 lbs LME). He says this could result in inky-tasting beer.
Has anyone else fudged the recipe like this, and if so, was it a big problem? Now I'm worried about my beer . If it goes wrong all my nay-saying roommates are going to have a field day.
