I've only recently gotten into the whole home brewing thing, and have been looking around at random bits of info on the net to get a better perspective of whats going on with each phase of the brewing process.
I found a little write up on http://bavarianbrewerytech.com/news/boilhops.htm which I found interesting in that it seems that their boil conventions may be out what what would be considered the norm.
I posted the link for anyone who is interested in the short read. Maybe five min or so.
The biggest part that interested me what the length of the boil time they use and their explanation of why. Basically they recommend an approx. 90 minute boil time. Not hop boil, but a 30 minute boil to adjust the wart appropriately and then to begin hop additions. Also that the total boil time should not exceed two hours, which I think I understand completely.
What I'm interested to know is how does this information stand with the rest of the brewing community?
It seemed logical and quite convincing to boil my wart for a half hour before I start hop additions, but maybe there is better more up to date info out there now as the write up they did was over 10 years ago.
