I entered my version brewed back in December in a recent local competition and wound up with a blue ribbon in the Robust Porter catagory. My favorite winter brew above all others.
S-04 dry yeast.
Cool. Thanks. I brewed this and didn't care for the result, but only had wyeast 1098 available. I'm looking for that dry finish like the original next time. I'm a big fan of Safale 05, so I think I will give it a shot.
Did you not care for the yeast results or the recipe in general? I'm thinking about brewing this one as stated in the recipe and i'm hoping before I make 10 gallons that it is a good one.. I love EF in the bottle...
So I brewed up 11 gallons of this over the weekend. Divided it up into 2 fermenters. I hit 1.060 for my OG and I pitched a starter of wlp007 Dry English Ale Yeast in one and a starter of WLP013 London Ale Yeast in the other. Looking forward to trying this and seeing what the 2 yeasts do differently.
Any verdict yet? I'm going to brew this up this weekend, and am still trying to decide what yeast to use.
Thanks!

Thanks, I went ahead and went with what I was given. It was not a perfect day, but I made beer. I was off on y boil off, so I was short about half a gallon, but I hit all my temps, and all my gravities. I could not help but drink what was left in my kettle when I was done, oh so tasty. I will be doing a side by side with a friend who came by today to help in a few weeks. He loves EFP, so he will be picky. Should be interesting.
Thanks for a great recipe, Ohio!!!!

So I made a 10 gallon batch of this back on June 7th I pitched a starter of WL Dry English in half and a starter of London Ale in the other half and after 3 weeks in the bottle i chilled one of the Dry English Ale version down and gave it a sample. I think this is very close to to Edmund Fitzgerald which is one of my favorite brews. Nice chocolate and malt background. Just a hint of that special b raisin flavor comes through and the nice dry yet somewhat creamy finish keeps you coming back for another sip. This is a very nice recipe ohiobrewtus!! Can't wait to compare this one with the other batch and I think I will go buy a 6er of the real thing to compare all 3 this weekend. Thanks again for sharing!
I heard they use Wyeast 1028 for this recipe. I'm leery of using special b in an american robust, though. Does it really add anything closer to the beer being cloned?
