Last weekend I had some friends over and we went through most of my last batch. I woke up on Sunday and realized that I wasn't going to have any beer to take with me over Christmas while we spend a week with the in-laws in North Carolina.
I freaked out and ran to the LHBS and picked up a british bitter extract kit. I brewed it that day. I've had a few days to think about it and I'm not sure it was a good idea. First of all, that means I'll have to bottle it this Sunday, which means it will have been in a fermenter for only a week. Second, it will only be in the bottle for a week before we leave. So maybe you can start to figure out why I'm thinking this was a bad idea.
What are everyones' thoughts? Should I try an follow through with this plan, and take a case of green british bitter with me, or should I try and find a local brewery and sample the local stuff? Either way, I need something to get me through the week with the in-laws.
Just as an added bonus, my brother-in-law will be there. We both got started homebrewing around the same time, and we've never had a chance to sample each other's stuff. I'm pretty sure he'll bring his own, and I wanted to bring some of my own.
