quick brew

[PCBrewer]

I have a family BBQ coming up on the 5th of August and I have been asked to suuply a keg for it if possible ( nothing like a bit of notice  )
Have I any chance of getting something drinkable and into a corny keg for then or am I wasting my time?
I have the ingredients for a california common, or I have a Citra IPA all grain kit from Homebrew company sitting at the house.

A Wheat beer would be my choice, easily done within two weeks

If you decide on an IPA, dry hop it towards the end of fermentation for a couple of days and then crash cool it if you can. You could easily knock it out in two weeks. I've done quick beers like this before which turned out well.

I think you are wasting your time.
You can brew beer in 2 weeks but it's gonna be way too green to drink.
Go to your local micro to ask them to fill your corny for a few bob straight out of their fermenter and gas it. If that doesn't work ask in your local club somebody is bound to have something.

Don't mind CH it takes him 9 months to brew a lager!

If you are doing an IPA do a massive whirlpool and hopefully the hop flavour can cover up the greenness.

Best option I'd say

You left out four words there "Gold Medal Award Winning"

2 Weeks is loads of time to brew 19L of piss

I think i'll brew a batch of California common this evening, if its ready, then great, if not, then we will just have to organise another BBQ in 4 weeks or so

Cal common needs a month of lagering after fermentation to really come into its own. I'd think Ipa would be safer territory.

2 weeks from mash tun to bottle will taste ropey, regardless of style imo.

3 weeks would be fine but two weeks is pushing it.

its going into the corney kegs, no way it would be ready in bottles.
2 weeks will prob  be pushing it, but i brewed a batch there at the weekend anyway and will just see how it goes.

Please pour a glass and take the pic on the 4th, I do hope it works for ya, I just don't like perpetuating the fact that the general public thinks all homebrew is shit, in all cases done well its better than commercial craft hence my comments.
