Hey folks, I'm sure this is either already covered (although I couldn't find it after lurking for a few days) or doesn't matter (seems like a lot of stuff can just be winged!).
I'm pretty new to homebrewing (only 2 batches) and I've been looking around for my next batch and recipe and noticed that a lot of recipes say to add hops at specific times. For example:
XXXXX at 15 min
YYYYY at 60 min
My questions is, how much longer after the 60 minute do you boil if it doesn't say? I understand that you are trying to use the second hop addition to flavor so you don't want to boil too long else they will change the flavor profile (or at least that's my current understanding). Is there a thumb-rule for this?
Thanks folks! Will continue to read, and you'll have a lot more questions coming from me soon!
