90 Minute Boil

dan_s · January 1, 2012, 11:23pm

Hello Everyone,

If I perform a 90 minute boil with a hop schedule of one addition 60 minutes before flame out, should I wait 30 minutes before making the addition? I’m planning on brewing a Maibock and the recipe suggests a 90 minute boil (first time for me) to help reduce DMS.

Yes you want to wait until T minus 60 left in the boil for your 60 minute addition, so boil for 30 minutes then proceed as normal.

LOL, that’s why it’s called a 60min addition.

Thanks, guys. Never underestimate the power of stating the obvious! Cheers.

Better yet, add at 90min and get more bitterness from those hops. You can use less that way, or have a little more bitterness for no extra charge. I think the difference is something like going from 25% to 28%, 3/25 is over 10% more alpha acids converted.

LOL, when I reply similarly to my wife, I usually get the same type of response. So, “sorry dear, my bad”.

Kind of a neat chart about boil time for hops.
