So I brewed a light blonde ale a few weeks ago with an og of 1.040. I decided to do a 30 min boil. I have done this in the past with no ill effects but this time around I have a distinct DMS character in my beer. Part of the reason I believe this happened was because I had to carry my near boiling wort down into my basement from the garage which added maybe 10 or 15 min to my normal chilling routine. Typically I kill the boil with my chiller ready to go but since winter I have had to go inside for running water.
I just want to give my words of warning for brewers out there trying to minimize brewing time. Don't sacrifice boil length, not worth it. I have been trying to scrub the DMS out by pushing CO2 up from the bottom of my keg and that seems to help. An extra 30 minutes on brew day would have corrected this. I will never again boil for only 30 minutes!
