After reading Marshall's write up on his 1 hr all grain brew day... http://brulosophy.com/2015/11/12/short-shoddy-my-1-hour-all-grain-brew-day/ ...
I decided to try something similar. It's cold, snow on the ground, and I've been trying to figure out a way to squeeze more brews into a busy schedule while keeping warm! I tossed together a 3 gallon recipe (we'll call it a Dark American Wheat) and when my wife ran to the store I started putting everything together. I managed to brew 3 gallons BIAB from weighing everything out to clean up finished in about 2.5 hours...And I cooked a meatloaf, Mediterranean egg bake, and an Italian stew at the same time! 🤘
I extended the mash to 30 minutes, got about 65% efficiency, and whirlpooled while I chilled with an IC. I'm pretty confident I can brew a decent beer in 1-2 hours start to finish with this method which is freakin AWESOME!
