Did something similar myself recently.
except i boiled 50g of cascade for 5 mins instead of your bX.... or was it magnum?

id be interested in compare and contrast - I havent brewed in ages - i enjoyed the last brew day and will be doing it again soon

[LordEoin]

is there much point in boiling for 90 minutes?

I've always been led to believe that after 60 minutes the benefits are minimal as per this:

Looks like a very interesting recipe Shane - best of luck

I too am curious as to why you boil for 90 mins ..

Any particular reason - or is it something you always do with this type of beer ?

[Partridge9]

Fair enough.
