I just wanted to make sure i have a firm grasp on what i am doing before i set out to try something new.
if I add hops (regardless of type) at 60 minutes it will add to the bitterness of the beer, adding hops at anytime between 30 minutes and flame-out will add to the aroma and flavor.
The temp of the wort when i add to my water in primary should be roughly 85 degrees, and my wort temp should be about 65-70 during fermentation.
I can leave wort in primary for around a month or move to secondary to add fruits/dry-hop etc.
To dry hop i should use actual hops, not the pellets in a hop bag and let it sit in secondary to get my desired taste.
I should get a kit that is milled all-grain, since i don't have the equipment necessary to mill anything.
BTW these are all questions not statements, so please correct me if i'm wrong, i am one of those people who are not satisfied doing it the easy way. I am going to order an all-grain kit this afternoon and just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row.
Thanks!!!
