beer styles on short time frame

[Secla]

need to get 3 beers ready to drink in 7 weeks for a party ! i want to do a pilsner so that will be first on but need 2 more beers that will be ready to drink on a fairly short time frame ! beer styles suggestions for something that drinks well young. im thinking a sessionable strength ipa + something else

[McMullan]

Some good advice here. With 6-7 weeks you could go a little above 'sessionable'. I'm not sure about a Pilsner, but a Kolsch is doable.

i thought 3 weeks for ferment then 4 weeks cold condition for the pilsner.. think i`l give it a bash. lager/pilsners not really my thing but its the drink of the masses

you could just about do a decent pilsener in that time, obviously a week or 2 more would be good , the greg hughes czech pilsener is a very good recipe. The main thing i find with lager fermenting is have plenty of yeast , not much of a problem if your doing 20L , throw in 2 x fermentisw34/70 and your good to go , any bigger and i think youd have to get a starter made up or use a decent ammount of slurry.

Hefeweizen is good on short time frame

I recently brewed a lager and used this "quick lager" fermentation schedule, which shaved some time off the usual... http://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/
It's not quite ready to serve as i need to get an empty keg sorted, but tasting good so far

Nottingham at lower temperatures will do an excellent pilsner for mates.

I think he's running out of time, Gents

ive done a pilsner using s23 and an old peculiar clone using nottingham
i dont have any way of temp controlling another until the old peculiar clone finishs

[McMullan]

Temperature control is important during active primary fermentation for most ales. So you could get another one on.

I did an extract "pilsner" with Wyeast Pacman yeast at room temperature that came out pretty good. You can read about it in the Mar/Apr 2016 Zymurgy (Last Drop).

Rookie - was that not lagered at all then?

No. It got a score of 37 in a competition as a pilsner.

Neat, well done. I've never made a lager before, as I've not had fermentation temp control before, but might take a stab at something like that then. I'm especially fond of smoked lagers heh.
