I started my first brew two weeks ago. I'm doing a Scottish ale. The kit was a DME with specialty grains. I steeped the grains up to 170 F then waited for the boil. I used the electric cooktop in our kitchen and had difficulty achieving a boil and maintaining it. The recipe called for a 1 hr boil with hops added a 45 min and 58 min. I added a whirlfloc at 45 min.
My question: If I did not maintain a full rolling boil during the 1 hr, will that effect my brew? Also, will it effect the clairity of my beer?
My beer has been in the secondary for on week and doesn't seem to be clearing up, still cloudy.
Thanks for your comments.
