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

[OneImpBrewery]

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

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

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.
