...and that's about as close as I get to a rolling boil.
With the recent DMS discussion on here I thought that I'd mention it ... have never detected DMS in my brews.

I believe a vigorous boil is necessary to create enough evaporation to rid the wort of DMS. Also, the hard boil will help proteins to coagulate and form hot break which is then left behind in the trub to a certain extent. This is just what I have read, I'm not a certified brewologist :icon_cheers:
