Hey beer gurus!
I was thinking about the length of my brew time the other day and was wondering what I could do to make it shorter. I did some internet searching and found that I wall already doing pretty well with my BIAB by getting done usually in 3.5 to 4 hours.
But I started thinking about things I could do to make it shorter. A bigger burner would be a huge plus, but I will have to wait for Santa to drop that off. Don't let me down Santa!
But this got me thinking about other parts of the process. I see many people on here arguing that a shorter mash time would work. I usually do an hour and was thinking of dropping it down to 30 minutes.
Then I started thinking about boil time. Is there anything sacred about a 1 hour boil? Could you do it in 30? I think if you adjusted the hops right you could still achieve the flavors you wanted.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks!
