Hey friends -
I use a lot of LME, but was looking to avoid the darkening affects of the LME as well as the "extract twang" that is oft mentioned. A common solution to these problems is the late addition from what I've seen, but I have a quick question about it...
If it's a 60 minute boil, if I want to add my extract say with 10 minutes left, do I pull the pot off the burner, stop the clock, add the extract, return to a boil then start the clock again?
OR
60 min boil - 10 min left - yank it off the pot, add the extract all the while the clock keeps ticking as the wort is still fairly close to boiling temps???
Any advice would certainly be appreciated, as always. Thanks!!!
