| Nov 26, 2010 at 15:22 | comment | added | brewchez | I agree you probably can get away with a 60 minute boil if its really aggressive. Far more aggressive than with my normal boil. And if you boil that hard, would might likely darken the delicate pilsner wort more than you want right? | |
| Nov 26, 2010 at 13:46 | comment | added | sgwill | No, with Pilsner malt you really do need 90 minutes with a rolling boil. As brewchez said, it has far more DMS precursor than a regular 2-row. | |
| Nov 26, 2010 at 7:46 | comment | added | arnemart | This. If you have a good rolling boil you can probably get away with 60-70 minutes, but it doesn't hurt to play it safe :-) It's also important to cool the wort quickly, as DMS is produced above a certain temperature threshold, and only evaporates when the wort is boiling. | |
