I ran into this problem in my first brew (and don't want to repeat it). I had a tough time with my boil. I never really achieved that "rolling boil" consistently. I pretty much stuck to the 60 minute boil, although I kept it a few minutes longer with a good boil to finish everything off.
My post-boil volume -- while I didn't measure it -- wasn't what it should have been. So it made me think: What's more important in the process, boiling for the time suggested or hitting the post-boil volume?
Maybe it's a wash, but I'd love to hear what people think on this matter. (Even though I think we all know the right answer: hit both.)
