120 Minute Boil Suggestions

**ardonthorn5** · 12-31-2011, 03:13 PM

I'm doing AHS' Flander's Brown kit soon, and it calls for a 120 minute boil. This will be my first 120 minute boil. Any suggestions or anecdotes from long boil times out there?

I just did one on Wednesday. It's a good time to clean up the stuff from the mash so that you don't have to do it later.

It's also a good time to drink a cold one.

I don't see any reason to do a 120 minute boil for an extract batch.

All-grain with Pilsner malt to drive off DMS, maybe.

120 min boil- watch how much you drink.. that extra hour sure can throw your normal brew day drinking rythm and you can wind up sloshed before you pitch your yeast

i'll probably end up reading and stirring a lot.
