Hi gang,
My bad for poor planning, but I need to go from grain to glass in 4 weeks. I brewed last Saturday and it needs to be ready by Christmas day. Does this look sane?
- Ferment at 64 / 65 for 14 days
- Diacetyl rest at 68 for additional 2 days
- Cold crash to 32, add gelatin, leave for 5 days
After 3 weeks I have 1 week to force carb:
- transfer to keg and set at 34 degrees / 25 PSI for 3 days, then purge and set to serving pressure and temp (38 degrees / 10 PSI) for an additional 4 days = 4 weeks exactly. (This part I'm not too confident)
This is a fairly simple IPA with WLP001 and no dry hop. I usually do 3 weeks primary, then cold crash for a week and then keg and force carb using the set-and-forget method (which takes 10 days minimum before it's carbed enough to drink). So I'm trying to shave 2 weeks off my usual schedule without carbonic acid or over carbing (I'll be building a bleed valve to mitigate against the latter, hopefully).
