Rye beer- ?ready in 4 wks

[rgarry]

Brewed an Irish red for the fourth. Party has increased in size. Not sure one keg will be enough. Brewed a Rye beer that was meant for faction on July 11-23. Anyway, I never rush a beer.......but I can force carb the rye but wondering how bad an idea it is.

just keep the OG reasonably low and itll be fine.

Or you could do a hefe or ESB or something. Definitely be ready by then if you ferment it right

OP has already brewed the rye beer.

FWIW, I brewed a Belgian Rye Pale Ale on 5/25 and I was drinking it last night. I say give it a go.

I think you will be fine. I just finished force carbing my Cream Ale that was brewed on the 30th. Already cleared (gelatin) and tastes good.

Alright, will give it a try. Will give it another week, then cold crash for a week, then keg for a week. Will update with how it taste.

If it we me I'd give it 2 weeks then combine the cold crash and keg for that last week.

Use a quick yeast. For example, I've recently learned that WY 1272 is awesome but slow. If I need a beer done by 7/4, I would definitely not use that.

I used W 1056 yeast. If I wait till the 27th of June, that will be 3 wks after mashing and give we a week to cold crash and carb. Might split the difference somewhat. I guess I can always serve the Irish Red and after several glasses, no body will notice anything anyway.
