Any <1.050 beer with WLP002 or 007 can be ready to drink out of a keg within 10-14 days easily. Healthy pitch with oxygen and you are at FG by day 3. One more day to clean up and you are ready to rack.

I typically go 7-9 days in primary and burst-carb for 2 in keg, then drink.
 
I have a T-can and Bearcat Witin beat down in the fermenter as we speak. I'm ready to bottle this week. It fermented fast and dropped out in no time.
 
About to do a Apollo Vienna smash and see if i can get it going in under a month. Will post back with the results. I did a northern english brown and it was awesome at three weeks, simple grain bill + low hopping + london esb yeast = fast beer!!
 
I know that chico and WLP400 are both big-time chewers, too. Pitch healthy starters and control all factors as much as humanly possible and you can have great beers much earlier. Another thing: taste your beer! You'll know if it needs more time. I would chill the sample first, though. Take the hydrometer sample, for instance, and cool it down even more (from 60 down to 40), then try it. The beer will tell you when it's ready.

I had WLP400 take a 1.064 beer down to 1.004 in 4 days.

The two big liquid yeast companies are VERY similar...I wouldn't worry. And dry yeast is great, too. Don't let anyone tell you that Nottingham or Safale are second-class yeasts.

yeah, fresh dry yeasts are actually pretty impressive in their sugar eating speed. The cell count is so high that they can really get rolling quickly.

And yes, I've had WLP400 just race through my beers in the past. The move through much of the sugar in just a couple of days.
 
I used some pacman that i washed on a double dead guy clone and that stuff was done in 4 days, it also dropped out like a rock!!
 
I have a basic Pils recipe that I call "10 'n 6 Pils". Ten days from primary to keg and six hours to carbonate: 10 'n 6.

It's off the top of my head but usually 8.5-9 lbs of Pilsner malt, 1oz of Hallertau @FWH, @15, @0. US-05 yeast and you're good to go. Sub anything in there you like: Cascade makes a nice light APA, 2-row works, a light touch of Citra is really nice.

i read this and thought super bowl can you please list the reciepeand steps in detail. thanks:mug:r
 
The first beer I brewed AG was Ed Wort's Hefe and I had just built a kegerator too, so I wanted to get something in it, I took it grain to glass in 12 Days (10 in fermenter and 2 carb/cool). It was awesome. I have also like BeirMunchers Centennial Blonde.

Nottingham Ale Yeast has become my go to yeast for quick turn around brews (as well as any other). It ferments and drops out very quickly, and leaves an clean beer at 57*-62*.
