Quick Kit

[Arfer]

Hi All

Can anyone suggest a kit that can be ready to drink from a barrel in a months time as have been asked to do one for a charity day.

Thanks in advance.

Coopers Canadian Blonde

Or a Ditch's Stout.

Or a Ditch's Stout.

How d'ye reckon that'd go down on a grilling hot day in July though, Monks?

I mean, ready? F**k yeah! But, I don't know if stout's everyone's cup of tea ~ outside of Eire

And, I suspect the general public would indeed be more appreciative of something lighter ~ and more to their custom ~ that they could throw down their necks, in order sweat back out again.

If it were me, of course? No Problem! I'd get amongst it!

Cooper's Real Ale kit is a good one for summer (made with light or medium spray malt)

Very true, Ditch! I made a Cooper's Stout a few summers back and decided it wasn't my drink at all. I got another stout kit for cheap a while later and thought I might as well give it another go and bloody loved it, the only difference being that I drank it in winter

I know stout isn't really a summer drink, but I'm thinking unless he's got a temperature controlled fridge big enough for a keg, then a golden hoppy ale isn't going to be very nice.

If he has, then my first ever Coopers APA with 500g of light DME to 21L and dry hopped with 40g of Cascade was great from a keg @12C

Hi
I thought of a coopers stout as i was drinking a pint of it last night but as said not everyones cup of tea, I just need a kit that will be presentable and tasty enough for the 13th of next month when hopefully the sun will be shining.

Hi Arfer, did you get something sorted in the end?

EDIT: Sorry, I have just seen the OP date, so I am well too late!

For future reference on quick brews though:
I have found that St Peters Golden Ale if ready pretty quick too of that is your kind of thing(?)
Its not a bad brew by any stretch of the imagination and came out of my FV clear as a bell.
