What yeast this time manticle? Going to try one with 1469 this weekend. Looking for a tasty house mild and this looks the goods.

1469 today.

I found 1469 needed a tiny bit more age than the other 2 (1187 and 1099) but was fantastic.

It's a young beer best drunk fresh and stored cool once carbonated so by age, I mean an extra week.

Thanks mate. Can't wait to taste this one.

A bit off topic........ but what do people consider the difference between a dark mild and southern english brown or are they basically the same? I have a SEB fermenting grain bill of;

Maris Otter 82%
Dark Crystal 11%
Wheat 4.5%
Black 2.5%

OG 1040
FG 1011ish

mashed at 67C

IBU @ 20 with single Willamette addition at 60min

Fermenting @20C with WYeast ESB 1968.

I'm looking to brew up a dark mild in the next few days, whats the reason behind the short mash times mentioned in these posts? Does it create a fuller bodied beer or similar?
