So my second brew got underway lastnight in brewing this American IPA kit. American IPA | Keystone Homebrew Supply
Being that you're supposed to drink and brew, I decided a Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA would be fitting, which it was. However, a few beers in, I look at the recipe and see that I need to add my second bag of DME to the mix after 40 minutes. But I only realized AFTER mixing in the DME that I put it in when my timer, which was counting down from 60, said 40, a full 20 minutes too early.
How is that going to affect the outcome of the beer? My initial thought was that it would end up being darker being that the malt had more time to heat and boil, but then again, it's only my second brew and from a kit none the less.
Any ideas?
