I'm looking to brew something a bit different. I've been reading a bit about long boils and decided to combine it with my favorite recipe. I've knocked the OG down 13 pts and bumped the IBUs down to maintain the malt/hop balance as well. I left the 15 min hops the same (I wonder if this should change) Any thoughts or suggestions? My one thought is that I might should beef up the 90 min additions to balance the malty/caramel from the long boil.
