Wort is typically boiled for between 60 and 90 minutes with a primary goal being to drive off DMS, but how does this convention hold up to testing? In order to get a clearer picture of the impact boil length has on beer, we take a look at three xBmts comparing beers boiled for anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Can participants tell them apart? Let’s find out!

Very interesting. I’m just wondering whether the pre-boil volumes were topped up to the same level because my simple mind would have expected a higher OG after the longer boil, more water being boiled off. But it appears the OG’s of that wee Heavy were the same?
