Hi
I have an idea to cut brew time, but still try to get the same result as a fulll boil. A partial boil (with either extract or all-grain) where I only boil say 20%. I would use hops in the same way to get bitterness and aroma and then just add the mini-beer to the rest of the beer. With this I will get a full boil but the time to get to a boil will be very short, also the chill time will be shorter etc.
Are there any set backs with my idea?
I've heard that you only can get to ca 100 IBU. This will make the limit at 20 IBU with my partial boil or can I get the bitterness in another way?
