Learner brewer running amok
Ok after I lost my confidence with brewing a few years back I sold my original brewing gear. I will be buying another coopers brewing equipment kit and it comes with a can of wort concentrate. Now my question is the instructions for these things normally say just add water sugar and pitch yeast and bottle when down to its final gravity, now what I want to know is would it pay to actually give the wort concentrate a boil for an hour or just go with the instructions and add the hot water, sugar and then cool and top off to the 23 liters with cold water. I screwed up once and ended up with terrible tasting beer by following the instructions on the can and I do not want to screw this up again also if I do give it a one hour boil would I need to add hops back into it.
