Ok so I read over and over and pretty much knew myself that you really don't need to boil extract. I got to thinking, perhaps when you do boil it you reduce flavors, so I decided an experiment. Using purified spring water I put little over 1 gallon into my pot. Brown rice was already prepared, place it in a grain bag, into the water and brought that to slow boil for 30 minutes. During this time I added 1.5g of Yakima Citra and 1.5g of German Huell Melon. Now some folks say you get much done with the hops that way.. I have no idea actually.
Moving on.. at 30 mins I added in my DME Pilsen light (12oz) stirred in in and dissolved it, then cut the heat, continued to stir on occasion for about 10 mins then proceeded to chill down.
Now I came out with a very blondish wort. Pitched Safale US-04 Ale yeast
Fermentation went wild but slowed. So Just wondering how this will come out. I've heard so many people say OH NO don't add DME that late, you have to boil it. I'm a show me kind of guy so I guess we will see. I'm expecting a bit more flavor from the malt, I could be wrong.
I've hear the brown rice will impart a tad but of a nutty flavor. So I figured Blonde + Nutty = The Ditzy Blonde
Your thoughts?
