Yesterday I picked up a brewcraft Rogue Dead Guy kit and a smack pack of pacman yeast from my LHBS.
Kit includes: hops,specialty grains,DME, and candi sugar.
However the instructions were a bit lacking. I've brewed three times before with extract and partial grains.
The recipe calls for adding half the malt extract at the beginning and then it follows the normal hops schedule. At the end after turning the heat down it then tells you to add the candi sugar and the other half of the malt extract. I always thought it was better to boil all the DME from the beginning?
