Well, I was thinking of doing a grain bill of 70/30 Ale/Munich with a 10 minute addition of simcoe, amarillo and centennial all combined. Inspired by the 200 metre ale - which is about 1.064 and 90 IBU. Still have it on the cards. I like the simplicity of the beer and how well it tastes as is - but as a homebrewer I will definitly be making some other styles (i.e. more complex) in the same notion.
I wanted to do this beer a long time ago, but as I no chilled, I didn't dare. I felt from my experience with no chilling, that it wouldn't get the desired effect. I have tried just cube hopping - no hops in the boil whatsoever - but that didn't work out as planned. So I waited until I could use a chiller and haven't looked back since. More than welcome to give it a go with no chilling - but I don't have much hope of it turning out as planned.
Cheers

Did this kinda thing recently with a Galaxy APA in kegs at the moment like drinking fruit salad so much hop presence loving it
Added 5g to boil just to encourage some hot break rest went into cube (which I consider 15min addition). Then a decent whack of dry hops a few days out. Works beautifully for no chill IMHO just need to press a bit for some aroma big hassle
Will be using this as my stock standard hop forward recipe formulation from now on extremely happy with it and will be doing more soon going through the single hop varieties As I do doubles probably do 2 varieties at once probably Chinook and Amarillo next for me... and bump it up to an IPA. 1060 at least.
