i searched, and didn't see anything about this. more of a curiosity thing than anything, but everything i've ever read/heard about has either been 60minute or 90 minute boils.
my austin homebrew "blue moon" clone kit directions called for 45 minutes of steeping the grains, and only a 30 minute boil. (1/2oz cascade for 30 minutes, coriander/orange peel for 15 minutes, 1/2oz cascade for 5 minutes)
my 2nd beer a hefeweizen, called for only 30 minutes of steeping the grains, and a 60minute boil. (1oz of tettnang at beginning of 60 minute boil.)
so was my austin homebrew "30 minute boil" a typo? should it have been a 60 minute boil? just curious, when i racked to secondary my brew tasted watered down, which i thought could possibly be attributed to a 30 minute boil, but at the time, it was my first brew, and i just read the directions, and did what they said.
thanks.
