Hi everyone, long time lurker, and today was my first brew day.
I brewed a 60-shilling scottish ale (mini-mash) from AHB. I sanitized like a madman, and brew day went well. I have my wort in a primary today with an OG of 1.050. I know that the only way to tell if it is done fermenting is by getting hydro reading that are the same over a course of a few days. I have no plans to check for about 10-14 days.
Ideally i would like to be able to have this brew available for xmas eve. I have a bottling set up ready to go, but i understand that may take awhile longer than I would like. I am working on a keezer ( but it wont be ready by xmas), but if I was to use a corny and force carbonate would it be ready to drink by xmas?
Thanks in advance
Wes
