I'm making a recipe for a Belgian golden strong ale, and I'm wondering if it would be a problem if I used 2-Row Pale malt instead of Pilsen as a base malt. Most recipes I've seen use Pilsen, but I want to avoid doing a 90-minute boil to reduce the DMS in the beer (which is a concern when using Pilsen).
Should I try using 2-Row Pale? Should I suck it up and use the Pilsen? Or should I do a regular 60-minute boil with the Pilsen?
I'm looking to make a beer similar in flavor to Delirium Tremens or Goose Island Matilda. Those beers are awesome. Do you think they use pilsen as a base malt?
