I could make about any normal ale in three weeks. I've had cream ales clear and from a bottle in 16 days.

What you make really depends on who your serving it to. Got to play your crowd.

Your really just stuck to something that can be served cloudy or using finings or a highly flocculat yeast for someting like a English bitter. I had good luck serving an American brown in just a few weeks from a keg too.
 
I brewed up 10 gallons of Hefe yesterday, 1.048 OG. Recipe is in this thread. It will be wheeled to our neighbors house in this for their New Years Eve Party. I suspect it will be a little lighter on the way back home.

You fill that baby up with ice I'm assuming? :mug:

Yea I suppose I will just to keep the temps down if we decide to put it in a garage or something.

Although if its outside we probably wont have to this New Years. Last year it was 55 degrees that night around these parts so ya.
 
Anything that isn't huge: hefe, wit, hoppy APA, any kind of English bitter, or a light Scottish ale (no peat, blah I hate peat) would work for sure.
