I do extract brews with some steeping grains. I use hops pellets with a hop/grain bag. The one thing I have always been unclear about is how long to leave in my hops additions. If a recipe calls for adding hops10-15 minutes into the boil, and then when there are 15 minutes left and again at 5 minutes left, do I leave the first addition in until it's time for the next addition? When it's time for the next addition, do I just add that on top of the first, or should I remove the first batch before adding the next? I'm sure there is no right and wrong way, but I'm interested in everyone's opinions.
