Ok. I know the title is a little confusion, but I'll clear it up right now. My brother wants me to brew beer to be served at his wedding. The problem is that I live in Chicago and the wedding is in New Orleans. I've been searching for someone to help me brew while down there on a trip this coming March, but it's been pretty tough to find a willing party....surprised right?
I've seen a new product on the brewing market. Something about you get delivered fresh wort, hopped and boiled and everything, and you just pitch yeast. Obviously, I wouldn't really consider this brewing, but the concept is interesting.
What if I was to do a full all grain brew session, chill the wort, and then separate the chilled portions into 1 gallon bottles? Everything being sanitized and all that good stuff of course. I could then pack up the jugs in my checked baggage (safely packaged), and bring it down to New Orleans where I could pitch my yeast. I figure if I brew it the night before I fly, I shouldn't have any issues of spoilage.
Let's hear the pros and cons please:
