Hi Folks,
while brewing an 11 gallon batch today, a hose popped off during recirculation and I lost about 2 -3 gallons of wort from my mash. I dint have enough DME on hand to supplement up to the gravity I wanted, so I decided to sparge to a lower gravity than I normally do to pick up some extra points. After all was said and done, I realized I would need to boil for about 2.25 hours in order to get my gravity down to where I needed it to be. I have never boiled this long. I was making a Saison with an OG of 1.057 (now 1.053) using 2row and pilsner malt with a a couple pounds of caramunich. Will the long boil give a inappropriate caramalized flavor to the finished beer?
cheers
