Do I have time to make Election Night Beer?

[Beer is good]

Hello,

I want some Donald Trump Victory beer. Is there anything that will taste ok on November 8th if I start it this week?

Edelweiss, or some similarly-made hefeweizen, should be ready (and delicious) in about 3 weeks, give or take....

Orfys mild.

Basically any low to standard strength ale.

Do you have the recipe for Edelweiss??

I had it fresh in Europe and it blew my mind, best beer I've ever consumed. I tried finding recipes (not that I could brew it on their level) to no avail

Hi, @saltymirv - that is an absolutely beautiful-looking beer!

I do have the recipe for this, but it is in .pdf format. I am reluctant to post it on the open forum because it isn't "my" recipe.

If you can shoot me a PM with your email address, I'd be happy to forward it over. That goes for anyone else who might be interested.

I also have some notes from when I made this here:

This is actually a great time of year to make this. It is normally a late/winter/early spring beer, but the weather is similar to the weather now.

This was definitely in my top 5 of favourite brews - possibly even top 3. The hops aren't "traditional," but I recommend trying them at least once. You can always switch to some good German Noble Hops on your next brew, but the ones for this recipe are, in a really nice way, appropriate.

Let me know, and thanks!

PM'd. That's ballsy to bottle straight from the fermenter, like what if it was a slow starting fermentation? I can see it retaining a lot of flavor if you can get the process down though

I have to ask, did you brew anything? haha

I'll certainly be drinking a beer if he wins! Though maybe not for the same reason.

Sadly, I did not. I did not have a chance to get to the brew shop nor did I have a good time to brew it... but I did buy some beer to drink either in celebration or to drown my sorrows
