Tonight I was feeling a little rambunctious, so I brewed a Sierra Nevada clone. Things went pretty well, especially after my mishaps this weekend with the summer ale.
Anyway, the recipe called for 1 cup of LME to start the boil, and the rest of the LME and the DME after the boil. That seemed weird based on the other beers i have done, but I've read about doing that, so that's not my concern.
My concern is that you normally throw the immersion chiller in with 15 mins left in the boil, but that won't work here. So I was wondering what people do. Do you turn off the burner, add the extracts, then put the chiller in? I guess as long as the temp was still high enough that would work, but I'm still curious.
