I have an interesting situation. I usually do a partial boil/partial mash technique for my 5 gallon recipes (my pot isn't big enough for full boils, and a little extract makes up for missing gravity). But my wife recently came back from the brew store with ingredients for a 5 gallon all-grain batch, no extract, a little too much grain to mash in my 5 gallon cooler. My question is, if the recipe calls for a 90 minute boil and a single 60 minute hop addition, is there any harm in boiling the wort for an extra 30 minutes or so to further concentrate it?
So basically it would look something like:
Fill pot with first runnings and boil 30 minutes
Top up pot with remainder of mash runnings and continue boil for another 30 minutes
Proceed with hop addition and continue boil for another 60 minutes
What negative effect does increased boil duration have prior to adding hops or adjucts?
