To Boil, Or Not To Boil....

[Sammus]

Who said boiling would reduce bitterness? Surely not...

I used to boil my kits, nothing to do with sterilization though, I did it (with hops of course) to add flavour and aroma to kits that didnt have any.

I've only boiled kits or liquid extracts to get better hop utilisation with the hops I add...If I've added DME or done a mini mash I would boil those with the hop additions and add the tins directly to the fermenter.

Only to use it to bitter partials and not have to boil for an hour.
