I'm looking to have an American Brown Ale kegged and ready by Saturday, Oct 17. Ill be brewing tomorrow, so no time for a starter. I'm aware of the mild ales that were brewed within 10 days, but was looking for something more.
I was thinking something like a Moose Drool clone, but really don't want the fruity esters of Wyeast 1968 or the WLP002 (or the high attenuation); so I really dont know which yeast to use. I know the 1968 and 002 flocs very well which would be great for a quick brew, but again don't want the fruitiness. I really don't want to use dry yeast either.
I'll be doing a 2.25 gallon batch, and will probably just pitch two vials of yeast since I cant do a starter. I expect the OG to be between 1.050 and 1.055.
Is this doable?
Any recommendations on a quick/high floc/low ester/clean yeast?
What about the Moose Drool (or a lower ABV Janets Brown) with WLP001?
Any other thoughts?
