Quick reply here... If you're on top of your process... can produce a bright wort and pitch a healthy quantity of yeast... ferment it out quickly and drop then yes... you've (just) got enough time to warm condition for a few days and then let it equilibrate in the bottle.
My batch... I made 40litres, split into one half kegged... the other half I'd only bottled last night. The extra time in the FV for bottled version had the same time in primary but I left it in the cool for 9 more days before bottling yesterday. It was great tasting going into the bottle... so I anticipate that it'll become more refined.
Working for you... low levels of carbonation for the style. Nottingham attenuates well in this wort, falls quickly and sticks to the FV like it's glued down. I'd imagine you'd get a great result with WLP002/WY1968.
Give it a go. If you come to test it on the 30th... and it's not quite there then you'll have an excellent haul come mid January.

Thanks for the detailed reply.
If I do brew it I will be using Nottingham.
I'm still beating myself up over which beers I will brew today. A Janet's Brown ale for sure and then 1 or 2 "quick" beers from Centennial blonde, Reaper's Mild and a 4.5% Session IPA that I designed myself. Except for a quicker turnaround I'll skip the dry hop and add a few oz extra to the whirlpool instead.
I have some chores to do this morning before I can start so I'll see how much time I have left over before deciding exactly what I'll brew.
