I just got my first kit from Austin Homebrew. I have brewed 4 previous times using kits from Williams and Brewer's Best. The kit is a Sierra Nevada pale ale.
The kit included one package of Perle hops and two 1 oz packages of Cascade hops. It says to add one Cascade package for the last 15 minutes of the boil and 1/2 of one package (1/2 oz) for the last 0 (zero) minutes of the boil. Does this mean I throw them in just prior to or just after removing the wort from the heat?
It says to add the last 1/2 oz after transferring to the secondary fermenter at 5-7 days. I have never used a secondary fermenter and wasn't planning to for this batch (the small amount of sediment in the bottles doesn't bother me). Can I just add the last 1/2 oz into the primary fermenter after 5-7 days and continue the fermentation process for another 5-7 days?
