I haven't brewed all summer, so I'm a bit anxious to get some beer bottled. I've got a Pliny like IPA that will be 2 weeks in the fermenter next weekend. I'd like to make a RIS and just pitch it on the cake, which I've never done, and hear that it is always considered over pitching.
I'd like to bottle the IPA, so it will be at least drinkable sooner. But I was wondering if I secondaried the IPA with about a half of the cake, and then pitched the RIS on the other half, would I still get some benefit for the IPA, or would it be a waste of time?
Any thoughts? I'm typically not a lazy brewer, but I need some stuff ready for the holidays...
