I have read repeatedly that adding extract at the end of the boil gives it a lighter flavor. I fully understand the concept but what about sterilization? Should it boil for a couple minutes?
Why do you add some for the full boil? Could I boil my hops for the full amount of time and put all the extract in at the last 3 minutes?
My next batch is going to be amber DME and lager LME (it's what's lying around). Which one should go for the full boil and which one should go for the last few minutes? I like my beer on the lighter side (cream ales, saisons, wheat, etc...).
Probably over thinking this one so thanks,
