It was a little more of a playful nudge than a, "buy this by Saturday to save your beer". I read the thread and thought he and others may be interested to know we exist. But yes, we could get a Bug to him (assuming the US) by Saturday :)
Safe travels!
Yeap, sounds like your only option right now is to leave it in primary. If you're traveling and want to check on your brew you need a BeerBug :) Here is my porter - http://www.thebeerbug.com/brewdatabase/brews/?brew_id=f9XPSNeHuDK1j3qyK7TPUcQFwOUqGB
I use 99% White Labs liquid yeast. I take it out of the frig when I start brewing and I pitch at room temperature. I've never used a starter. You can see in my data that fermentation starts in just a few hours and most of it happens in 1 day...
