Hello Everyone:
Had to take some time off from brewing due to some health issues and haven't been around in a while. Since I have been away from the hobby and still have some issues I decided to go back to extract for a couple of brews and get my brew grove back.
I am going to do a Kölsch that is in "Brewing Classic Styles" that was written as an extract without steeping grains. Here is the recipe:
Pilsner LME 8 LBS
Munich LME .25 LBS
Hallertau 4% for 60MIN for 24.6 IBU
Wyeast 2565
Now, this being a light beer I was thinking of doing a late addition. I did a search, but am still very confused. I am doing a full boil. The recipe gives a pre-boil volume of 7 gallons for a finish of 6.
#1. I have read both do/do not do late additions with a full boil. I am confused. I really do want my color to be right. Should I, or shouldn't I?
#2. If we do split the additions how much goes in at first?
#3. I have read Beersmith has a button to check to use with late additions to adjust for late additions. Where in the heck is it?
