I just bought the ingredients for this with two changes. I went with six row for a bit more of a historical feel, and they only had malted rye, so I got that. I was assured they were interchangable, so I'm sure it will be fine.
Brewing tomorrow gives us just enough time to get this ready. After a month of primary and a month of conditioning the bottles will be ready for consumption 24 hours before the party.
Speaking of primary, I know how you feel about your process, Revvy, but I'm warry of leaving my brew I'm a plastic bucket for a full month. If my sanitization is good and I avoid hot side areation snould I be fine, our should I limit my fermentation to 3 weeks or so?
