Good day!
I was brewing a Session IPA and my boiler (basically a 25L jam cooker) just stopped working after 30-35 mins into the boil. It's always worked fine until this batch, despite spending a bit of time fiddling with it, I just couldn't get it to start working again. At this point, the temperature dropped around 88° C, so I decided to say screw it, dropped in some Amarillo and Citra and just started cooling. Sadly my Simcoe had only been in for about 5-10 mins at the point that I noticed it had stopped boiling so I'm going to lose out on some bitterness.
Do you have any insights on what I should expect will change? Bitterness is going to be quite low, but what else might happen? Is a 30 minute boil really such a big deal besides losing time for hop utilization? From what I've read, it seems unlucky that DMS will be an issue after 30 mins, but should I expect anything else?
Thanks! I'll try to remember to update when it's all done! Fingers crossed!!
