No boil kits

Has anyone used the LME from a "no boil kit" and done a 60minuite full boil? Do you need to add extra sugar to the wort?



Thanks

Are you talking about making up the no boil kit per instructions and then boiling it for 60 minutes? If so, you won't need to add extra sugar. In fact you will need to do the opposite. You will need to add extra water to make up for the evaporation. I would probably also add some more hops with about 15 minutes left in the boil.
