Worlds fastest IPA!

another option that would elimate a lot of time is skipping the minimash. you can make a great IPA with just the pils and sugar as fermentables, the pils dme also has a little carapils in it

The only way I could see you doing a short brew is with pre hopped LME. Since the pre hopped stuff has been boiled, it has the bittering you will need. Then you can add your hops for aromoa and flavor.

This makes sense.... I would still try to find the time to have a 60 minute boil.

I don't think it'll work either, but my first rule of homebrewing is "It's your damn beer so do what you want and to hell with the naysayers". So, if you really want to try this then go for it!

Worst thing that happens is that you have to come back and say "Well, that didn't work worth a crap." and try something else next time. If you can afford to risk the cost of an entire batch and all those hops, give it a shot!

People here give GREAT advice and this place has been a fantastic resource for me and so many other people, but sometimes the best way to learn is from your own experiments be them victories or failures.

(just no complaining to us if it doesn't work )

21oz of hops?! Call this "Hop-me Blackjack Ale"

you could boil hops in pure water in a separate pot alongside your boil kettle, then add at the end. The lack of sugar in the water/hop "tea" would result in way more utilization, thereby resembling the IBUs of a 60 min addition.

Ive added boiled hop water to my bottling bucket to save a "too sweet" beer before, and it worked perfectly.

That sounds like a really good idea.

I know the amount of hops is stupid gross, but im trying to us em up so my fiance can use the freezer too. I got greedy and bought more than I could use in a reasonable time.

Not a bad position to be in.....:rockin:

A month has passed since brew day, any updates?
I know that is a short time on a beer like this but I can't wait to hear how this is comming along.

I've also added directly to the keg to mask sweetness (but that's a different thread altogether), and it worked well. And, the hop-tea tastes amazing! You'll be lucky to have any left to add by the time you're done sampling it.

But how did this turn out? Reading the recipe i'm drooling, or atleast the little hop monster inside of me.

It must have an intense hop aroma
