I have a True Brue Oktoberfest ingredient kit that I'm ready to brew. I've seen all the bad comments about True Brew kits. I've brewed several Brewer's Best kits, and the instructions are better, but my first brew was a True Brew brown ale that turned out great. My questions are as follows: The kit came with Cascade and Liberty hops, and with 8oz. of whole malt. Should I crush this malt before steeping (kit doesn't say to)? The kit also specifies adding all the hops at the beginning of the boil. I plan to add one near the beginning and one near the end. Which is the better bittering hops, and which should be the flavor/aroma hops?
