Hey All,
Was helping a friend move the other night and he gave me all of the brewing perishables that were laying around. This included a couple cans of hopped ipa extract. I plan on making an IPA for a party and using this along with a partial mash of some two row, biscuit and crystal. I'll also be adding my own hops (I've got tons to spare) for bitterness and aroma.
I'll be doing a full boil. Not a partial boil.
Now I've read "don't boil hopped extract because it kills hop aroma and flavor" but I'll be adding my own flavor and aroma with my hops.
I've also read "full boils with extract help to erase the extract twang"
So plan is to do the partial mash, add water and hopped extract, boil 60 minutes making my planned hop additions. Does this make sense? Thanks.
