Why did the rabbit like NEIPA's so much?
I ask because I have a bit of a challenge and I think cold crashing might help...
The Belgian Golden Strong I brewed did not turn out right, so I dumped it. I changed the process I think was the culprit (too hot sparge) and brewed it again yesterday.
The challenge is I plan to submit it for a competition and the deadline is 8 days after brew day. I am confident I can get it to FG in 6 days. Based on past brews it will get down to 1.003 or so. My plan is to then cold crash it overnight, bottle the next day, and hope for the best.
Fingers crossed the beer will carb up in the 10 days between submission and tasting... If all goes well, it will be really fresh! I figure it's least is better than submitting the dumper beer. (I already paid to submit it.)
My usual process is to ferment for two weeks, then condition for 1- 2 weeks. So grain to bottle in 7 days has me feeling pretty nervous...
