Have messed around with AG for a while but while I am building a new setup I am back on kit brewing.
Recently picked up two kits of LCPA copy from Brewcraft.
It comes with a Blackrock LME plus 15g Willamette and 15 cascade hops.
The recipe calls to steep both for 10 minutes then tip into the wort.
I purchased an additional 30g Cascade as I think the kit is lacking.
My questions is, how much bitterness, if any, can be imparted on the brew from a 10 minute steep. My guess is none.
LCPA requires a mild-medium bitterness to balance out the sweet flavours and aromas from all of the cascade hops they dry basket into it.
Can anyone tell me if bitter flavours can be developed from only a 10 minute steep?
I am thinking 15g Willamette/15g Cascade 10 min boil then 15g Willamette/15g Cascade 10 min steep, then 30g cascade dry hopped into the fermenter
Ideas?
