Brewing the www.homebrewtalk.com 888 Russian Imperial Stout on New Year's Eve, 2007.

Apologies for the wind...not much I could do about that without video editing software.

the other day i missed my og by about 6 ponts... but i ended up with about .75 gallon of unused wort.. kinda thinking i over sparged. So I could have kept boiling until i reached my correct og.. even with a 60min addition of hops?

[av8or233]

Absolutely!  I boiled for a little over an hour before my first hops addition (the 60 minute bittering addition for this recipe).

I'd question the desirability of boiling any wort for approaching an hour.

Better to be more careful & avoid over sparging.

how bigs your kettle? and have you tried skimming to remove the protein?

[sac670]

When your brewing your wort, it's supposed to be for 1 hour, right?

What would happen if you did a two hour boil?

Do higher gravity beers need more boil time?

Teach me!!!!!

i could live in there... if it wasn't filled with wort
