I will be brewing a pale ale, using a spunding valve*, S-04 yeast, and it will hopefully be ready for the Oct 29 meeting six days later. I'll use Crystal malts to give it an orange-ish colour for the halloween theme.
* A spunding value is a totally unnecessary part that you do not need to invest in to make great beer, however, it allows you to generate great beer in a week or two grain to glass instead of the usual 5 weeks. Basically, yeast is happiest at about 6-7 psi of pressure, and this valve keeps it there when fermenting in a keg, and bleeds off excess pressure. Again, though, you can ferment equally good beer in a bucket.
