I've brewed a few kits in the past few years and only two of them were extract. I've been having great luck with all grain but want to get a couple friends into home brewing and extract is the easier method... or should be. I've done two extract kits and one turned out great and the other scorched with the maillard reaction for a caramelized pale ale. I've read conflicting methods to the addition timing of the LME. I'm brewing a Northern Brewer Witbier kit that the instructions state to add all of the 6.3 lbs of LME as soon as the water comes to a boil. Of course add the LME after taking the kettle off the burner but would you add all the LME at the beginning like the directions say or as I've read:
>some at the beginning and all the rest at flame out.
>all LME at flame out.
>another method I'm not aware of.
Thanks for your help and knowledge.
