I'm looking for a quick stop gap brew that's drinkable from a week maturing after transfer from the FV. Normally I'd go for a Ditches stout, but I've done a few of them in a row and wouldn't mind a change (sorry Ditch). Anyone got any suggestions?
If I don't get cracking soon I'm going to have to drink some stuff that's far too young.

My current APA has gone from 1053 to 1011 in 7 days and is now undergoing dry hop treatment

I'm going to give the APA a shot, just right for summer quaffing.
Thanks

Re: Quick brew
If you brew it with just sugar it is very lager like, use DME and you get a lot of body but its not hoppy enough for my tastes then.sbond10 wrote:What flavours would you say an Apa came out any tips
I tend to use crystal malt to get a biscuity flavour and extra hops to add more hop bitterness / flavour.
It makes for a good base for kit adaption.

The two milds (geordies & ritchies 'simply' mild) i've done have tasted fine after just a week in the bottle - great if you want a quick turnaround!
