Another General Homebrew Question:

What are the advantages of boiling the wort 90 minutes, as opposed to 60 minutes?

Not real sure but I'll take a stab at it... Driving off DMS in some styles more prone to it?

Has anybody in here tried Brew in a Bag (BIAB)? I have done this for the past five or so batches.

The first couple I was all over the place with efficiency, but have now dialed it in with the last three clocking in at 80% efficiency each time. Very easy with minimal cleanup and no stuck sparges. I can also adjust my heat during the mash and can do a mash out the last ten minutes.

I make a lot of recipes where the majority of the bill is pilsner malt. I also do no-chill. Pilsner malt can produce higher amounts of DMS, so I try and play it safe and make sure I get all the DMS and DMS precursors out before transferring to my storage cube to be sealed up.

I tried it a few times on the stove for some small batches before I did 5 gallon all-grain brews. Worked rather well.
