Since I'm only really boiling extract, and I have no early hop additions I recommend not boiling for longer (it only darkens the wort). Further more, all the body and flavor of the grains has already been extracted during the 155deg grain boil & sparge which is completed in a partial mash earlier in the process. | ||||||||
