Pumpy,

As for the hops he used..... ( I guess) fuggles in there big time.
I found quite high in bitterness in the finish, and fuggle in the aroma.

I guess there is no prize for guessing fuggle/ or Goldings in and English Bitter but ,yep thats what i taste.

HBW I cant get over how clear my beer is Scott boiled it for two hours to overcome any chill haze .

What a good drop !!!!

Scottys policy seemed to be keep it simple and dont spend big on the yeast cerainly seemed to work

I was late to ferment mine as the fermentation fridge was busy... But it has been going for a week and samples are showing good signs.

I ended up pitching WLP 005 Brittish Ale. See how it turns out.

I have attached an article from the local paper too.

Cheers,
Jarrad :beer:

How did peoples ESB's turn out ?

I fermented mine a week later (had to get a fermenting fridge) with WLP017 Whitbread yeast, which should be similar to the suggested Safale S-04.

Not quiet as clear as I have heard of some of the beers. I also think I over carbonated it a little but not overly so.

Nice head, Hoppy aroma. I'm not sure of the hops used but not entirely to my taste. Still, very drinkable.

I was very happy with my 'Braidwood' jobs.

I had two cubes, 1 with a liquid WL026 Premium Bitter fermented at 20C for about 8 days. Turned out quite nice, but i think it would have really improved with a little more cc , but hey i was thirsty !

No2. I used a Saf04 dry yeast, and i must say i was very impressed with the yeast and the beer.Fermented at 18C for 7days and 3 days at 1c then, kegged for a week........ and then into it ! Very clear like Pumpys, and very tasty ! Just had my last pint now

So a very happy chappy here, and i will keep some of that Saf yeast in stock for back-up when it may be needed.

Is the Milk Stout Brewday on ??, pity i cant make it, so i made a Stout today .

 

[Pumpy]

Hey Agro I overcarbonated mine too yet done it like all my brews .


HBW I am going to try the Safale S-04 iin my next English ale It seems a cheaper if it is good quality and seems to be the case .

You got yours going quick and drank two kegs already , I have one and half kegs to go and six grolsch bottles for reserve .he! he!
