I've recently started doing full boils and have been adding all the extract at the beginning, even when a recipe calls for a late addition. My thinking was that the late addition was suggested only because the recipe is a partial boil recipe.
For a higher gravity beer would it still make sense to hold some of the extract until the end or would it not make much difference? I'm thinking for a recipe that includes 8-12 lbs of extract I could add 6 lb at the beginning and the rest at the end. Am I over-thinking this?
