So I'm a new home brewer. I've made 2 different ales with recipe kits that turned out well above my expectations. My friends that I let sample were impressed and didn't believe I made them. My stout was not quite as successful mainly due to carbonation issues using primer sugar.
Crux of my question: my ales recipes have differing hops being added at various stages of the boil. Some boil for short periods and others (same hops variety) for longer periods.
Is there any reference or "rules of thumb" that assist new brewers in how to use hops during the boil?
I'd like to try my hand at following learned processes but experiment with my own grain and hops varieties.
