Hey all
Time has got away from me and I've left my run kinda late to get a second batch of beer done to take away with me before I go away for Xmas. It won't be until next weekend that I'll have a chance for a brew day and then two weekends after that I'll be hitching the van on and heading off for Xmas.
Sooooo - can anyone recommend a decent recipe with a short fermentation time? One weeke primary and one week secondary would see me bottling the weekend I leave which whilst doable, it's not preferable. I'll be on holidays a few days before that so could do 10-12 days fermentation. I'd been thinking of doing a Nelson Sauvin summer ale (2 weeks fermentation) and I also notice the Citra cubed hopped ale is only 1 week fermenting.....
I know either way that this leaves very little time for conditioning but this is a second option beer as I have a DSGA which will be about 6 weeks in the bottle by then. It would mean a few newly capped bottles bouncing around in the vans fridge for a few hundred Kms though......
Ideas......
