Many years ago when the engine in my old Cal 40 actually worked and I had refrigeration. I used ale yeast, a short 45 minute wort boil in the cockpit, and bottle conditioning -- no carboys. I would only brew a gallon at a time because I had a small ice- box. It was fun and the beer was delicious, but the cost of ingredients and propane was far far in excess of just buying the local stuff.
