Good day,
I'm planning on carrying out a simple all grain IPA recipe another member has suggested:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/easy-ipa-recipe-398028/
I have a few short questions which I am really eager to figure out:
First, should I leave the first addition of hops for the whole 60 minutes, or do I take it out at the 20 minute mark enitrely, then add the hops designated for the 20 minutes mark?
Second, I use bentonite in my mead all the time. Is there any hard in adding boiled bentonite to the primary fermentor (a carboy), and then racking the beer twice?
Third, and finally, what good does Irish moss do? I've been advised to keep it in for a whole 60 minutes, in a cheesecloth bag, in the wort. Is this a good idea?
Thank you all in advance.
