Brew Now, Drink Nye

[tdack]

Topic says it all....

Suggestions for a brew to put down now, and be drinking on NYE. I'll be putting it into a keg. My scheduling hasn't been the best lately and I've only just got back into brewing (and kegging), so I'd like to be drinking my beer on NYE.

Kit & Kilo, or Kit & Extract + Hop tea bag are my limit at the moment. I'd love to try something a bit more but haven't got the gear or the room.

DOH! Cancel that. Just realised you're kegging not bottling.

You should be right to party by NYE with just about any K&K if you are kegging. Just ensure that you get whaterver your taste down ASAP. If you are after a general crowd pleeser do a tooheys draught nock off. This style dosn't mind the current temps & it will brew out in about 7-8 days. Then Keg, gas & drink :beer:
This is provided you don't want to cc or age at all. The general punters won't know and it will still be better than megaswill (just).

I put down a Blonde last Fri, Keg this weekend sometime and will be ready by Xmas .

If you get a Muntons kit & kilo down within the next day or two you could be drinking that for NYE. I'd suggest the Pilsner, Nut Brown Ale or IPA. 6 days in the fermenter then bottle, 12/13 days in the bottle then fridge, 1 day in the fridge then partaketh of.

I know nowt about kegging but if you can't do similar or better with a keg, why bother in the first place?

I'm willing to bottle, just didn't think that I'd have enough time to end up with something decent.

A fresh wort kit and a decent yeast and all will be good by NYE.

Muntons trad bitter + coopers b/e2 + own yeast or saf so4,
Coopers Canadian blonde with b/e2, 15gm fuggles boiled 10-15 min, 15gm steeped 5 mins.
Both quick & dirty, 10-14 day ferment, chill 2-5days, carb & drink.
Muntons definitely tastier, but Coopers an easy crowd pleaser (my standard for non-brewers parties).
Happy brewing,
Mark.

I would consider doing a wheat beer, they don't require the aging that some other beers do and they go well on hot summers afternoon or evening.

Kit wise, I have had good results with the Country Brewer summer wheat wet-pack kit and you can't go past a fresh wort kit.

Nothings as fast as fresh wort pack...any of the Pale beers would prolly be done by NYE

Some one was raving about the Homebrewworld ezybrew pack earlier

I have never tried a wort kit, but those muntons kits usually come right the quickest out the K&k that i have tried.

Thanks guys. I'll give one of the fresh wort kits a crack, then in the new year get into some serious brewing.

I have never tried a wort kit, but those muntons kits usually come right the quickest out the K&k that i have tried.

My Last two brews (kegged) were A Morgans blue mountain Larger K&K and then fresh wort Larger. Might have more to do with the yeasts (SafLager for the Kit, can recall right now what dry yeast I used for the Wort) but the Blue Mountain turned out better than the Wort The wort Larger has a fruity finish. IMHO Probably better to steer away from largers in these temps is more the point.
