If so, what kind of things are you experimenting with? I hope it goes without saying this is a topic about beer, not any other kinds of home experiments you might be in to.
Thought about boiling Wort under Vacuum at room temp and seeing if you get any Hop Bitterness. But Heat is necessary to kill bacteria and for Hop utilization so It's most likely a bad idea.
Same here to some degree. I do my own recipes but I do research a lot on here first. But have made good beer and next time around have used different yeast and it will be totally different flavor profile. That is what is fun about this hobby, one little thing and it is something totally different
Inline carbonation is my latest experiment.
What do you mean by inline? As in fermenting in a keg and then closing it up at the end?

Oh god, please don't get this one shut down guys. I actually want to see all kinds of cool ideas!

I wonder about using this idea to concentrate your sweet wort without over cooking it and then doing standard non-vacuum boil with the hop additions afterwards.
Experimentation is the name of the game with brewing right?!? I mean, that's why we started brewing is to be able to make the Beer "We" want.
But yes, I like to experiment even if I don't know what I'm doing at all.
I do plan on experimenting with dried, unsweetened fruit in my brews this summer. Maybe the last 5 min of the boil, put them in a hop bag and in the wort, and transfer them into the fermenter? Who knows. But I'm going to do it.

Now that I think about it, I think that's how they make DME. Maybe we aren't thinking as far outside of the box as we thought.
