I just wanted to make sure I understand the reasoning behind this...
I am brewing up a blue moon style tomorrow and wanted to keep it light in color. I am doing a 3 gallon boil and the recipe calls for 2lbs of DME and 3.3lbs of LME. The reason for doing the late addition method is to keep the wort lighter in color, right? And, would I want to add the LME or DME later in the boil? AND, at what point in the boil (45 minutes) do you add the extract? AND, is this a good beer style to even try this method.
I know I'm asking a ton of newbie questions...but can any of you help a brutha out?
