Boiler fail

[Phillynch]

Hi guys.

I was boiling a batch of ipa yesterday when my boiler cut out after a little over 30 mins.

It’s a brupak electric boiler and there must have been a build up of **** on the element.

I’d chucked 30g of cascade in at the hot break and I had 50g more of cascade and 50g of Simcoe to add at switch off, so I added them when I realised the boiler wasn’t playing ball.

The malt is used was dinghams pale (6 kg). I cooled the batch and put it in the fermenter and pitched the yeast.

I’d achieved the OG I was predicted
(1.060) and today there is Krausen in the fermenter and there aren’t any off smells.

Can I expect to have a decent tasting brew? I usually boil this batch for at least 60 mins...
Cheers
Phil

Yes it will be fine. Its very annoying when your boiler cuts out. Happened to me before. Welcome to the forum.

Cheers, big relief 👍🍻

Thanks for that, quite a relief. I’ve give the element a good scrub and removed the cut off switch (tut tut), so no further issues hopefully 🤞

Could well be one of those brews that turn out really nice! Definitely no harm done you'll just have a less bitter beer

I’ll let you know how it turns out

Mozza is right. 30 minutes is a tad short. I’d worry about DMS. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to boil off DMS. But I’m sure you’ll be fine.
