Brewing an extract irish stout kit and realized at 30min I forgot the LME....

At this point should I boil it for an addition 30min or 60 min ? Everything else I added on time...

Thanks in advance... !
 
You can add it now. No need to worry about the LME becoming a little darker in a stout.
No need to boil for a longer time.
 
If you do stir like a madman so as not to burn it on the bottom.
 
Take it off the heat to stir in the LME, as it goes straight to the bottom. Next time use about 1lb per gallon in the boil, the rest @ flame out.
 
Greeeeat thanks !

I added the DME at 30min, then boiled it for an additional 5min. I guess I really did not need to do that and it is now fermenting more than that last batch...

Thanks for the advice !
