I'm planning to brew a New England IPA where I only use knocked hops and dry hopping. Is there any point in boiling for an hour? What is the minimum time I should boil for? I'm thinking maybe 15 minutes.

If one is doing extract brewing then it is not necessary to boil the malt at all. I have made very good beers using malt extract dissolved in hot water and dry hopping the resulting wort in the FV.

If using all grain then boiling can be useful to denature the amylase enzymes (etc) and to pasteurise the wort but that can be done in 5 minutes (or less).

DMS is pretty much a non issue these days, so a short boil is fine. I often do batches with a 20 min. mash and 20 min. boil The beer turns out fine, with no hint of DMS.

Boils are 60-90 minutes not for hops but to boil off DMS, in all grain brewing.

If you're doing extract brewing then yes a short boil is ok. DMS has been taken care of in the extract production process.

Certainly. The guys from Brülosophy do this with their "Short and Shoddy" series.

Make sure that you hit your OG almost before the boil, because you will not have much evaporation.
