TIA!!

You are also getting rid of DMS with a normal vigerous boil, coagulating protiens, etc. Do the 60 minute boil with AG.

But if it's an extract brew (and it seems it is) a 20 minute boil time is fine.

Yeah, it'd be an extract. I'm no where near financially able to go all grain any time soon. Also, beersmith adjusts the starting boil volume depending on the boil time. So hitting OG and proper volume post boil shouldn't be a problem.

That works out nice then, shorter boil and not as much bit but still with good hop flavor. Works for me!!

Thanks all, will report back when I get a chance to make this!!
