quick brew

[PCBrewer]

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.

will do.
I will stick in into the kegs & cold crash and give it a taste that weekend, if its not up to standard, they will have to make do with a  few bottles that are still knocking about from previous batches!
By the way , the beer I brewed was a california common, using the Hook head malt and the yeast from brew con, so I will be interested to see how it turns out.

An english ale with Safeale 04. That yeast will tear through the wort in 2-3 days flat. It floculates high, so the beer will be near crystal clear at the end of fermentation. If you brew today you could move to a keg by saturday. Presurise the keg to the high end in a fridge, and the beer would be ready to drink by Tuesday of next week.
Ive tried this before and got from grain to keg in 1 week.

I've done quick turn around beers and 2 weeks is really pushing it. For pale ales go with a large 0 or whirlpool addition. Pitch on the higher side and ferment on the cooler side. 16-17 .
After a week crash cool with gelatin and rack to keg cold. Either rock or crank up the gas.
Let settle for. Few days and serve. It will be drinkable but will benefit from a few weeks.

Interested to hear how you get on.

Drew Beechum has a nice how-to for fast brewing.

I've tried this out and it works. Key things are relatively low gravity and mild hoppiness.

As an update, I didn't serve the quick brew at the BBQ.
It just hadn't cleared out properly and wile probably drinkable, it will benefit from another 2/3 weeks at least before i got back to it.
ill try and get up a picture of a poor one and another in a few weeks time.

I ended up serving a larger i brewed and bottled bout 6 months ago and didnt think much of it at the time, but after that time sitting in the bottom of the fridge, it turned out to be a decent beer and went down well with the 'non craft beer drinkers'
