Pitched on top of some Simpsons Marris Otter malt
Carramunich ll crystal malt

Went Challanger hop plugs all the way 40 min , 5 mins & in the cube

1046 to 1012 two weeks in fermenter

cc for 11 days

Drinking dam fine after 3 weeks in the keg gunner blow any time soon

Nice malty flavours with the marmalade from the challenger complementing it nicely

One of my first uk liquids. I enjoy it particularly in darker style UK like porter and stout although I've also used it in milds. I prefer 1469 for anything uk but it is a good yeast nonetheless.

Yes I have used it a few times and I have found it drops brilliantly clear as well.

Bought 2 packs that were 50% off the other day. Didn't swell so bought another pack and will use a starter for the original 2.

Have 50litres of esb that I want to ferment so hoping that it turns out well.

It's a great all round UK ale yeast. Great character and really easy to use, not fussy at all.

Just used it in half of my first double batch. Kegs been conditioning and carbing for a week now. Used 1098 in the other half. So far tastes are great, liking it better than the 1098.
