I'm making the Wells Bombardier clone from Can You Brew It, and of course my LHBS didn't have WLP006 because it's seasonal and April's nowhere near the availability window (July-August/Sep). :smack:
I grabbed a packet of S-04 so I have something to use, but since WLP006 has a specific ester profile that the recipe needs, I know the clone effort won't be all it might have been. I do have the Lyle's Golden syrup, so that's at least something distinctive.
S-04 has its own esters, of course, but what would everyone recommend as a substitute? I can make another trip to the shop tomorrow before brewing, so I'd love to hear favorites/opinions.
