Quick Tip: Boil Worts Made with Pilsner Malt Longer

The more pale the malt is that goes into beer, the more DMS precursors they have. Worts that are made of these malts need to be boiled longer to drive off these volatiles. The general rule is this: A typical boil is 60 minutes long. However, if you use a Pilsner malt, boil it for 90 minutes. Of course, this must be done with the lid off, and vigorously.
