I am brewing some pre-hopped extract. The instructions said to mix them with boiling water in the primary fermenter... fill up with cold... any away you go. I am about to keg the beer and all seems to have work (so far).
(On a side issue I may throw my air lock in the bin - it creates too many worries for us newbies.)
I am considering my next move to be pre-hopped extract but try my hand at some specialty grains.
If I did the above, I would follow the palmer instructions and boil. This would technically be against the pre-hopped instructions.
Does this matter?
Even if I had another go at standard pre-hopped extract with no specialty grains should I have a go at boiling anyway?
For you info here is what I am brewing at the moment...

And one more thing to hit you with... If I do decide to 'add' speciality grains to a pre-hopped can, can can I just go for any specialty grains and experiment? Or should I seek advice?
Sorry for the long question. I've learned so much over the past week or so. What the hell did you guys do before the internet??!!??
