My second beer. It is a Brewcraft Belgian Wit. Among the things in the kit are 1oz US SAAZ hop pellets (no other bags of hops), 1oz bitter orange peel, 1oz coriander seed, and 2 grams paradise seed.
Step 6 says, in part, "Place the bittering hops that came with your kit in one of the provided steeping bags, tie shut, and add to wort. Continue to boil for 45 minutes on med-high heat.
Step 7 says, in part, "If your kit came with flavor hops, place them....and add now. Boil for 10-15 minutes longer"
Step 8 says "If your kit came with flavor hops, place in hop steeping bag and add now. If your kit came with spices, place in steeping bag and add now. Turn off the burner, your wort has now boiled for about one hour."
Step 9 says " If your kit came with Aroma hops, place them in bag and add now. Allow to rest about 10 minutes.
Are my hops bittering, flavoring or aroma? If flavor hops do I add them per step 7, or step 8?
Are the orange peel, coriander and paradise seed all spices, to be added just before turning off the boil? I ask this last question because the orange peel package says to add in last 15 to 20 minutes of the boil.
I appreciate any assistance. The only contact info on the instruction sheet is for web site only, and that doesn't give me a way to ask them questions. Thanks, Al
