All-Grain - Mild Mannered Ale (AG) (E) UK/US - Page 30

Mine ended up right around 1.017 though it doesn't taste too sweet at all. In fact if it were any drier, I think the beer might have turned out a little too thin. I mashed right around 155, so maybe the higher mash temp and the high percentage of crystal malt led to a less fermentable wort. I had the same problem with Jamil's mild recipe, though that one turned out great as well. Looking forward to this one.

Nottingham is really clean as British yeasts go so it won't make that much of a difference.

Do you typically rehydrate your dry yeast?

Ooops, that wasn't clear. What I meant was, are people rehydrating dry yeast for this recipe? Just curious because of the lower gravity.

I use Nottingham for this recipe and rehydrate. I am going to brew it again tomorrow using a starter of Fullers yeast.

Made this pretty much exactly (Notty, all-grain, etc.), based on Beersmith's 5 gal auto-conversion from the posted recipe file, about a month ago. Fantastic recipe, and clear enough to read through with the Whirlfloc tablet I threw into the boil.

Will definitely be making it regularly, and it may get a quasi-dedicated place in the kegerator.

Thanks to Orfy for posting it!

Brewed this Friday with a couple changes (used stuff I had on hand instead of ordering yeast and hops). Used 002that had been in my fridge since 10/11, and used willamette instead of fuggles. Grain bill stayed the same. Used my small biab system and grabbed 6g of 1.040 wort. Pulling for this to be great so I can do 15g on the big system. If not, I'll order the correct ingredients.

Fear not. It will be great. I have brewed it with Willamettes and it turned out great. And I usually use Fullers strain from a local Brewery.
