    Brew an ipa without dry hop or a hefe, get to drinking fast.

    Well, yes you can do that. I haven't tried it due to the desire to get repeatability. But who cares about repeatability.

    Well yeah, but you're weird. Homebrewing is about adventure, not repeatability.

    I dry hopped in the keg a couple times while it was carbing then pulled the bag before serving.

    The last time a little bit of the hop bag got stuck in the PRV. It was constantly slow foaming beer. Made a hell of a mess.

    I wonder if I could do a 3 week grain to glass ipa, like my hefe recipe?
    1 week primary
    1 week secondary
    1 week carb in the keg

    This has me thinking.

    Keep the grain bill simple, with enough malt backbone to hide any mistakes.
    60 min boil
    throw some hops in at the 60 min
    throw the rest in last 5 min or at flame out
    pitch on us -05 and let it go
    dry hop in secondary for one week (optional)

    My IPAs have always taken a little longer, usually one more week in secondary. But that's basically the process I followed. Commercial breweries can turn them even faster so 3 weeks seems doable.

    I would skip secondary...
    Dry hopping in Primary for the last week works very well.

    some other "quick" options to consider are an ordinary bitter, and a real Irish Red Ale... both go pretty fast.

    who wants to repeat anything when they only brew once a decade?

    There was a time when that wasn't the case. But I totally agree with the sentiment.

    Well, in this case when I say secondary I dont actually mean racking off to a new fermenter. I just mean how long I let it sit after the primary/active fermentation has subsided.

    I normally let a beer sit in secondary for 3 to 4 weeks depending on the gravity.

    that's a little longer than i normally would have kept anything waiting unless it was a big high gravity monster.

    3 weeks was my standard turnaround time, unless it was a big beer.


    I took a short one a couple hours ago. It was nice. --

    I usually keep everything in primary for 5 weeks, but I seldom brew anything less than 6.5%

    I will leave my bigger beers in there for 7 weeks or even longer. I also rouse the yeast every couple days or so
