I brewed an IPA up on Sunday. I just took the first SG reading after 48hrs and it's nearly done at 1.019. I'm tempted to see if I can't get it finished up and kegged in 10 days. That would be 12 days from pitching to packaging. My question is how would you best finish off a brew and be drinking it 15 days after pitching?
The goal is a buddies wedding. I've already got 3 batches done and kegged that have spent their sweet time fermenting/conditioning/aging. One spent 12 weeks before I kegged it, the other 8 weeks and the last batch will be done, kegged and freshly dry hopped for drinking at 6 weeks I think.
My plan was to ferment it for say 3 days then rack it to a secondary to clear for 5. After that I was thinking I could cold crash it and keg it at around day 10. Force carb and then let it have about 5 days to level out before drinking.
Thoughts, ideas?
