Hey,
So I'm a new brewer (~5 batches) and have a question about when to add late extract. I tried adding 1/2 of my extract late a couple of batches ago and the beer turned out horrible. I added the late addition at flame-out, let it sit 10 minutes to pasteurize, and chilled. I'm thinking that this could have been too late, and caused the problem with the beer since it was not chilled right away. So I guess my question is when is the best time to add the late portion of the extract? I'm thinking perhaps 5-10 minutes before the end of the boil, as this may be late enough not to affect hop utilization, but will allow the wort to be chilled at immediately after the boil?
Thanks!
