It may sound like blasphemy to some (myself included), but I need to un-hop a batch of beer. I accidentally added 4 oz of fuggles (which corresponded to the 10 gallon version of my recipe) to my 5 gallon batch... and landed my beer at 69 IBUs! Needless to say, the hop head in me is a little excited to taste this skewed take on an otherwise traditional dry Irish stout, but this beer needs to be straightened out by St. Pat's day.
So my plan is to brew a NON hopped version of the same beer, 60 minute boil etc, and blend the two post fermentation.
Has anyone done this? Are there any theoretical concerns I should address in recipe formulation etc before I mash in for the 2nd time?
Thanks in advance by brewing brothers and sisters.
