    Looking for something to brew with a quick ferment and bottle condition time.

    Any ideas?

    Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde

    I guess it'd be grain to glass in four weeks if you bottle. I hope so, I have a batch in primary at the moment. :D

    Saisons are quick, depending on the yeast. Saisonstein's monster is a week

    Saisons are actually one of my slower turnaround beers. They're in secondary for a minimum of two months.


    My quick turnaround beers are IPAs. They're best drank fresh. I try to go from grain to glass in about three weeks or so.

    My hefe is grain to glass in 10 days or so.

    61.9% German Wheat Malt
    33.3% German Pilsen malt
    4.8% Rice hulls

    2 oz of 2.7% Hallertauer at 90
    1 oz of 2.7% Hallertauer at 15

    Wyeast 3068 slightly under pitched

    Ferment at 65 for three days then ramp up to 72 to finish
    Carb with about 3 volumes at 74+

    I started drinking mine the day after bottling and it just got better from there.

    +1 for hefe. ferment 5-10 days then bottle or keg. if you keg you can do grain to glass in under a week. if you don't keg you should stop everything else you're doing and get into kegging if you want fast turn around.

    This was the first one that came to mind for me as well, although I have made CB twice and both times it has taken longer than expected to bottle condition. In fact, the first time I made it I seriously considered dumping all the bottles when it tasted like wet cardboard after 3 weeks. But I waited another two weeks or so and it started tasting good, then suddenly 6 weeks or so after bottling it was absolutely delicious. The second batch is bottle conditioning now, and I got that same weird taste at 3 weeks, so I'm just being patient.

    A hefe or a mild would have to be two of the more obvious choices for superfast turnaround.

    A mild could be ready in well under two weeks. There was a thread on fast milds for a HBT competition some years back.
