Hi all,
I found a clone recipe for Blue Boar Irish Pale Ale, a beer I drank for years. The beer has been discontinued in Colorado but this clone is very close.
The AHB recipe calls for WLP004 (Irish Ale yeast), Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale) or Munton's Gold.
I have heard horrible things about Muntons. I'd use the liquid stuff but it is not very available locally and shipped yeast tends to die before it makes it to my door.
I suspect that in this clone the irish ale yeast really makes a difference in the overall flavor profile. Other than these 3 yeasts, does anyone have a dry yeast they can think of that would work?
Think Safeale US-05 would get me somewhat close?
thanks,
