So I was reading on HBT that a fair amount of people do 90 min opposed to 60 to get a better conversion. I make a pilsner that I always do 90 on because I'm just following instructions, and it dries up a fair bit better around 1.005ish, and is really crisp. Where other lagers I'm only doing 60 and coming in at 1.010 give or take a few points.
Has anybody else tried this as a side by side test with 60 and 90 min mash, and seen similar results in how dry your beer gets? I just did an IIPA close to Pliny the Elder with Amarillo instead of Simcoe. It got fairly dry at 1.015 from 1.075, but that seems to be common with most of my ales when I should be getting closer to the 1.010 mark. So this weekend I plan on doing another IIPA with an identical grain bill and different hops to see if I get better conversion and a drier beer.
