Total wort boil time was 90 min which I don't fully understand.


Could be equipment specific, old recipe, or someone with DMS paranoia.

The only time boil longer than 60 mins is with barleywines.

So just adjust my recipe in beersmith to 60 min boil and with my boil rate the volumes should adjust accordingly, right?

I've also encountered some IPAs that called for 75 min boils - a few Bell's Two Hearted recipes come to mind. Do the same?

Seems excessive with your recipe


That's what I was thinking. This was the simplest recipe I've used yet so I couldn't figure out why it called for 90 min. Being new to this I didn't deviate from the recipe though. My thinking is that I should be able to sparge enough with the water used in a 60 min boil. My target end-of-boil volume is the same and it should have the same concentration of sugars at the end regardless of start volume ( I would think).
