Best two week beer recipe?

[spiderwrangler]

I'm planning on brewing a mild/JBA love child sometime in the near future, but haven't brewed one so far, if nothing else, I'd agree with others and give the Pope's a try.

I've brewed Jamil's from his book a few times and I really like it, a lot of flavor and quick turn around.

Thanks!




Jamil's recipe uses the same yeast Bugeater was talking about too. How many days did it take to ferment out for you? What temp?

Did you make a starter? How big?

I'll vote for either an English mild, Ordinary Bitter (think mild with finishing hops), or small APA (OG 1.044 and 30-40 IBUs). FOr the APA, I argue that the Stone Levitation clone from CYBI show would probably do the job. Check out Fred's recipe database for a general direction:

Count me as another fan of that beer. It will ferment in 3 to 4 days, but give it an extra couple of days to clean up any diacetyl. If your yeast is reasonably fresh you don't need a starter since milds are so low in gravity.

I am quickly deciding that 002 is my favorite yeast.

Let it warm up to get rid of the diacetyl. Diacetyl rests work in ales, too.

Jamil's "Through a Mild Darkly" looks to be the one! I'm heading to my LHBS tomorrow!

I have an extra ounce of french medium toast oak cubes... any thoughts on oaking this? I most likely won't use them this time, but if this turns out ok, I might try oaking the next batch!

Thanks guys!

Jester Kings recently released an bourbon barrel oaked mild. Delicious.
