I understand the whole thing with 90 min boils: DMS for pilsner, greater hop utilization, concentrate wort for higher OG, yadda yadda...
I do BIAB and boil on propane, focus mostly on APA/IPAs. To me, I can just add some more grains to the mash to get my OG. Use higher AA hops at 60 mins to hit my IBUs. These options seem to be a bit more practical than using another half hour's worth of propane during the boil and lengthening the brew day.
Recently came across a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone recipe that called for a 90 min boil (which got me thinking about this). Is there any reason that I'm missing that the longer boil would be beneficial for these types of beers? I'm all for doing what's right for the beer. But I also don't want to do something for the sake of doing it with no real reason/benefit behind it.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Not looking for the "do what works for you" type of reply, just more curious about any potential benefits I'm missing.
