OK, got a turkey fryer for Christmas and I'm attempting my first full boil tomorrow (5 gallon). Here is the kit I am brewing:
http://ebrew.com/amber_ales/90_minute_double_pale_ale.htm
It says "Notice the different bittering level based on a partial boil (88 IBU's) and a full boil (134 IBU's)." Does that mean that by doing a full boil, my beer will be more bitter than it should be? Do I need to reduce the amount of hops I add in? I've seen conflicting information on this. The guy at the LHBS said to use them all, but it didn't sound like he really knew what he was talking about.
The recipe calls for about 10 separate hop additions 3 different kinds of hops. A couple of them are plug hops... do I just cut part of them off?
Also, do you guys use muslin bags for all hop additions? All of my hop additions are packaged separately (some pellet and some plug) but only the plug came with muslin bags.
Thanks.
