Did you brew this? How did it turn out? With the 1469 yeast about to be offered again, I'm curious how close this is.

Now that I have the yeast, this beer is on the agenda. Anyone tried this recipe yet? Jamil seemed to have thought it was very close to the real thing. Speaking of the real thing, I can't seem to find it anywhere around here anymore. Has anyone in the Triangle seen this stuff anywhere lately? Definitely one of my favorite beers.

I'm brewing this recipe (sort of) this weekend. My LHBS had chocolate 350L and I had to sub flaked wheat since they no longer carry torrified wheat. I'm sure it'll turn out great though. I'll be sure to post back the results.

Awesome. Definitely report back. I'll be putting this one in the fermenter in the next couple of weeks too.

I plan on brewing this one in a few days, though for "research" purposes I went out and got a few bottles of the real stuff. Very tasty, though a little more tame than I had hoped. I wonder if they ferment cool, because you really don't get all those complex esters and english flavors that I know this yeast is capable of. I'll probably drop the wheat in favor of more dark crystal and pale chocolate, and ferment around 68-70F.

The active fermentation is over for mine. It's been 4 days at 66F and I've ramped it up to 70F after 72 hours. The yeast was a great fermenter but never went crazy or anything. I got about an 1.5'' of krausen and used a 1L starter. I'll let you all know how it went when I keg this in 2 weeks.

Oh man is this good. The fermentation really reminded me of WLP037 in that the krausen was thick and cheesy and it never fully dropped. The flavor is iconically English. The yeast produced everything I love about English ales. It is fruity, creamy, a hint of diacetyl that I love, and it gets better and more complex as it warms. I really dig what this yeast does, it is a great English strain.

I've pulled a few pints so far and it is very cloudy though. I forgot to add Irish moss and the recipe I used had over a pound of flaked wheat, so I am not sure how flocculant the strain is because of the beer.

I'll definitely be using this again for a series of English ales.
