So, I'm very new to homebrewing, but I'm going to attempt to brew a Citra Pale Ale. I can post the exact recipe later, but my question may be able to be answered without the recipe.
I've been reading a lot on adding some malt extract to the end of the boil instead of all at once in the beginning (especially for light colored beers like IPAs/Pale Ales). I have a few questions regarding this process.
1. I'm using DME and LME in this recipe. Which one do I add late in the boil?
2. Should I add the late extract at flameout or 15 mins? Or another time?
3. How much should I save for late in the boil? Go half and half? 25% at the start and 75% late?
If it is any use, I have 5 oz of Citra pellets (to be added throughout the boil) and 3 oz of Citra leaf hops for dry hopping.
Thanks for the help. I know there is a lot of information in these forums regarding this, but I couldn't quite find the answer to these specific questions.
