Need a game day brew, that will be ready in time?

Alright so we are at the 20 day mark and I should have already had something ready... However I am still refining my skills in procrastination.... ill get there eventually.

I am looking for a nice crisp pale ale or other recipe that is ready in minimal time. Ive looked at Orfy's Mild recipe and that looks great. Any other ideas out there?

I have tons of Cascade hops and an all grain system.

Please help

you keg right? look up coff's hophands clone. just did that...grain to glass in 16 days.

edit...just read about cascade hops...try edwort's haus pale ale.

 

Sounds great! That looks perfect, I will look into the clone as well.

Here is a link to the recipe if anyone in the future may find this helpful.

I was going to say ordinary bitter or mild. But if you want to use up your cascade, I think a good old basic american ale would be great. 1056 type yeast, fairly basic grainbill shooting for 1.045-1.050, 30-35 IBU. More late hops and maybe even skip dry hopping to speed up a few more days. Could easily turn that around in 20 days.

 

Here is a grain bill I have been using recently for 1.045 type ales - I have been quite pleased with the body and flavor it has produced:
60% 2Row
25% Munich (or vienna, or vienna/munich combo)
5% Flaked Oats
5% Wheat
2.5% Caramel 40
2.5% Carapils

100% RO water with .4 grams per gallon of gypsum and CaCl

 

A follow up, This turned out fantastic and was a huge sucess. Thanks for the input! One of the reasons I love this forum. Braufessor your bill is up next. Thanks as well for the quick reply sounds like a great ratio.

Not applicable to you any more, but you can turn around a light (3.5-4%) dry stout pretty darn fast also. 5-6lb 2-row, 2lb flaked oats or barley, 1lb dark malt (400-500L), and about 30 IBU of bittering.
