"Short Brew" Experiment

Wheels are turning on a little experiment I'd like to try, perhaps even this week.

Test
  1. 3 Gallon stove-top BIAB 
  2. <30 minute mash.  (iodine test @ 20 min through conversion).
  3. Full volume Boil for 30 minutes
  4. Simple 1.045 OG, Best Bitter recipe
Risks
  • Incomplete starch conversion
  • Insufficient hot break, protein coagulation, leading to various off flavours and cosmetic defects.  
  • Dimethylsulfide (DMS)

Thinking I'll follow this up with a quick fermentation schedule, primary straight to keg.  Bump carb and serve in under 10 days.
