I'm a musician and just got asked by another musician if I would want to supply the beer for a kickoff house party for one of his new nights. Of course I want to share my beer with a bunch of people! I'd like to do a Belgian Pale Ale. Do you think 2 weeks fermenting and 2 weeks in the bottle is enough time? If not is there a beer with an interesting flavor profile that could be done in a month? Here's the recipe I came up with, it's modeled after Jamil's recipe. I'd do 4 batches for 12 gallons.
