I was looking at a recipe for a Belgian Strong Dark Ale which called for a 3 HOUR BOIL! I use propane and have a pretty inefficient burner. To boil for that long, it would use over an entire propane tank. The OP's reasoning for this was to develop melanoidins and color.
Is a decoction mash an alternative to this long of a boil? From what I understand it will accomplish this. The original recipe is a single infusion mash, but if I were to change it, would the end result be at all similar?
Thanks everyone!
