Hi, I've just bought a 40L urn and looking forward to doing some stuff beyond the normal Kit and Kilo. I've hit a recipe on beersmith that I like and it has about 3kg DME overall but it adds only 1kg at the start with the bittering hops then adds the other 2kg at 20min? I'm wondering why .... wouldn't it be best to add the whole lot so the bittering goes well or are there reasons like colouring that he holds off on the rest of the DME until later? Recipe timings are pasted below, cheers:
