I just had the opportunity to enjoy a Young's Special London Ale, and think it is going to be my next all grain home brew.

Anybody have any good recipes?

I noticed AHS has a clone for sale for $45!!! OUCH!

Thanks!!
 
I have found this one:

All-Grain (19 Litres)

12lb 3oz Maris Otter Malt
15oz Crystal Malt
7 AAU Fuggles Hops - 60 min
2.5 AAU Goldings Hops - 15 mins
0.5oz Goldings Hops - 0 mins
0.25oz Goldings Hops - Dry Hop
0.25oz Target Hops - Dry Hop
Wyeast 1318 (London Ale III) Yeast

Anybody else have one?

Thanks!!
 
Ressurection of an old thread but I'm looking to make a similar drop.

Did you try this and if so how did it work out?

There was an issue of BYO that had a clone recipe in 2006. I've only seen the index page though

Ok.

Developed this recipe based on some advice and a recipe from an experienced brewer on another forum (I think theirs was for the draught Young's special)

It's metric but I've included percentages.
