With 5 batches under my belt, I am in the process of identifying "improvements" to utilize. Obvious choices for extract brewers include full boils & late extract additions. Both have been suggested as ways of combating extract twang. Though I have enjoyed all the batches I've made, there seems to be a common caramel-like sweetness in all except the stout.
I have seen some threads which recommend partial boils when doing late additions, the idea being that one maintains OG so that hop adjustments are not necessary.
Aside from hop adjustments is there any downside to combining full boils with late extract additions? Can brewing software be set up to account for late extract additions?
Thanks in advance!
