Top off kettle with water to get a 3.5 gallon preboil volume. Bring water temp back up to around 160 and add DME. Bring wort to a boil and begin hop schedule. At 15 min. remaining, add 1 Tbsp Irish Moss rehydrated in 1 cup water. Then, at 5 minutes remaining, remove from heat and add LME (keep the boil clock running). When the LME has dissolved completely, return kettle to heat for remaing minute or two. This is the late extract addition method and you'll achieve a more accurate color and avoid overcarmelizing the wort. | ||||||||
