Lately I have wanted to get all my hops boiled and ready for several batches. So I boil up 2 batches worth in water... just throw the pellets in, boil for the time to get to the IBU I want... then I strain the hop muck out.
So I end up with hop soup.
I then split the soup and use the portions for my batches as needed... freezing any leftovers.
I do this so I can just do it all at once... then when I boil up my extract I just pour in the hop soup with a short boil... or pour it in at the end
Why is this not a good idea? Just curious if there is something that I am overlooking.
