So I recently purchased an IPA kit from a homebrew supplier here in France (it's a specialized kit from the store, not coopers or the like)...the directions say to add the bittering hops to boiling water for 45 mins, then to remove the hops (they are in a hop bag), and add in the DME and brewing sugar and aroma hops...from everything that I've understood, it's best to add the bittering hops after the DME and brewing sugar to ensure that they flavor of the beer is hoppy...
I'm a bit confused on what to do here ... should I follow the kits directions or should I add the DME and brewing sugar and then wait for the hot break and then add the bittering hops for 45 mins, and then add the aroma hops? Hope this makes sense (and I also hope I posted in the right section)...thanks for any insight!
