As I look through the recipe pages, I see just about all of them call for 60 minute boils. I understand of course this calls for less hops when you use a high AA bittering hop at 60 minutes, and also it imparts less flavor, but sometimes its like this:
.25 X hop high AA @ 60min
.50 X hop high AA @ 30 min
.50 Y hop low AA @ 15 Min.
I mean if they are adding a 30 minute addition which will impart a tad of flavor anyway why not just save a half hour and add say a full oz at the 30?
After a really successful 25 minute Citra Pale ale I have been writing all my hoppy recipes at 30 minutes, besides needing a wee bit more hops is this wrong?(as long as I choose tasty hops)
