Camping beer?

[Bernie Brewer]

soo I have a 3 weeks to make something tasty.. any recomendations or recipes?

Seriously, your beer deserves to be given more than 3 weeks to be at its best. I am not being glib or condescending or trying to be a smart-ass here. I think you should bite the bullet and take commercial beer, and take your homebrew on the next trip so it has time to be what it should be.

Ya I usually keep mine in carboys minimum of 3 weeks.. not the maximum.. but we will see. I split the batches in different carboys... soo maybe I will just take one... its a wheat anyways... soo young is the way to go. Thanks tho

3 weeks can definitely be done. I brewed an Amarillo Blonde on 4/21 and the keg was tapped and kicked on Friday night during a tailgate.... I do think that bottling will make this a little harder though, I had the advantage of leaving in primary for about 17 days then transferring to keg and force carbing at about 30 psi for a few days.

It was a hit at the tailgate, but I know that it could have been better if I would have waited a few more weeks of conditioning. Which is why I always brew 10 gallon batches!

Soo update for anyone listening.. my og was 1.056 and reading now 1.014. Tastes good... but may have put too much citrus peel... I can feel it will mellow out, but time will tell!

Thanks all for the help and info

Soo letting my beer mellow out and properly condition.. but it seems to have a bit of a bitter taste due to the rinds I added. Any recomendations ppl have the mellow this flavor out?? This is just a thought, but could I add a sour yeast to hopefully mellow out the bitter??

I love my homebrew ... And I love micro IPA's, but for some reason nothing goes better with camping than brass monkeys. Ice cold 40's of Old English - drink 1/3rd, top off with orange juice. Sounds gross, but terrific around the camp fire. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
