HI all -
I bought an IPA kit from my local supply store. Reading through the directions it only called for a boil after steeping the grains. Once it reached boil the recipe called to lower the temp down to 180 and have the hops, DME and LME all cook for the normal 45 minutes. Every beer I've ever made required a boil during that normal 45 minute span. I called the store and they confirmed instructions. Is this normal?
thanks so much for any feedback!
