Im going to be doing my first full wort boil tomorrow, making a Brewers Best irish stout. I want to know if any adjustments are needed when doing a mini-mash? The kit comes with a small can of LME, some DME andmaybe a pound of malt that needs mashing. I believe the recommended mash time is 30 min? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, are hop schedules affected by a full boil? The kit came with UK Gold pellet hops, 2 oz.
And last but not least, can potassium metabisulfate be used to sanitize aluminum? I know caustic cleaners shouldnt be used, but have no idea about the potassium metabisulfate.
Thanks for any help.
