I was a little confused by the 30min boil called for in my AHS Wit kit.
After perusing the forums it seems that short boils are ok for a low-hop brew, however I have also read that any recipe with pils should boil for up to 90 min due to dms. This recipe is 46% belgian pils (see bellow).
Can anyone give me the straight dope on boiling time and dms with different grains?
Thanks
