Thanks Kal. I used the wyeast Thames valley. It was all my hb store had available. Excited to see how this turns out.
RandyAB said:I brewed this recipe last weekend in a 10 gal batch. My efficience was a bit better than I expected and the OG was 1.062. Its now done fermenting, but the FG only reached 1.020. I used the Safale 04 and with those numbers the ABV% should be about 5.5%
My question: Did the FG end up high because of the high OG? I'm thinking that the yeast reached its attenuation limit at about 5.5%. Do I need to do anything else to get the FG down to the target 1.014?
Thanks for the advice.
How many packets of S-04 did you use? One is enough for 5 gallons so you should have used two packets.

It is pretty damn good isnt it? Mine is just starting to mature after a week and a half in the keg. Im sure I will just about be out of this one by the time it really comes into its own. Im pretty bad when it comes to letting things sit. The temptation is just too great. Im quickly becoming a fan of Safale 04. It sure does make a clean looking beer. I have a high octane pale ale fermenting with saf04 right now, 10.25 lbs Maris Otter and 1 lbs crystal 60. Looks real good but its taking some time getting down to the final gravity I want to see.
same here, I brewed this with the wyeast seasonal yorkshire yeast (1469) and this beer was amazing...i brewed it a second time with s-04 and it has this horrible tang on the finish that I hope will subside with a little more time in the bottle.
Just poured my first glass of this brew again. This is one of my favorites. I f' ing love this one. Nice job, KB!
It will get better with time. Mine had a sour taste for about 2 weeks after I got it Carbed in the keg. It went away after I got 1/2 through the keg and turned out awesome. My marris otter is in the keg now and I think I like this variant better though.
KB, have you tried brewing this recipe using s05 instead of s04?

KingBrianI said:Heck no! Yeast is the most important ingredient in English style ales, and us-05 is way too clean for this beer. Stick to english yeast!
Brewed this 2 1/2 weeks ago, still in primary, wondering whether I should bottle it or put it in a secondary for another week or so... Brewing again on Friday & need the carboy. Looking forward to trying this one!
