I'm what I like to think of as an intermediate homebrewer (Mini-mash due to space and equipment limitations) but a thought crossed my mind today.
My normal brew process is to boil between 2.5 to 3 gallons for an hour. Between the 60 hop addition and 30 minute hop addition I do nothing. Would my results be the same if I were to double the "60 min" hops and at them to the boil at 30 mins, thus cutting my boil time and energy cost in half?
I'm not one of those guys you see trying to shave time off the brewing process, just a thought I had that makes logical sense in my mind.
