I have a Midwest Amarillo pale Ale kit in front of me right now and I'm thinking of brewing it this afternoon (it's my third brew).
2 questions about hops:
1. The instructions say to add half an ounce of Columbus bittering hops during the boil. Whether by mistake or not I don't know, but they supplied two ounces of Columbus hops with the kit. Should I follow the instructions or should I play with the recipe and add more?
2. Track instructions say to add one ounce of Amarillo with 20 minutes left and then another ounce as you are removing it from the burner. I'm confused about that second ounce - am I supposed to leave it in there as I cool the wort? Or is it supposed to be in the wort only momentarily? Help!
