This yeast is starting to become widely available. It's available here in the UK now @ malt miller http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=1939

That's the bad boy! Thanks muchly SD. I see where I was wrong searchwise I was searching for English Bitter's when I should have been searching for English ALES. Bookmarked, so I dont lose it again. Got me a bit of reading to do :O)

I'm looking for the massive English Bitter thread. I did a search (honest :)) but I cant find it. I'm probably looking in the wrong place(s). Can someone post a link please Cheers

Ah, I see. There's quite a few players in the UK HB market at the moment, but the best of luck. Feel free to pop over and see us at HBF anytime

@claire Sorry for hijacking you thread. Setting up a business in the UK and the US will obviously be entirely different. Have a look at this thread on HBT's UK sister forum HBF. The thread is really about the feasabilty of setting up a micro brewery but there might be some stuff in there to help...

I dont often leave London so only really see what's going on there with my own eyes but from HBT UK sister forum (I'm a mod there) I stongly get the impression it's happening all over the UK. Depends what you mean by "only just", I'd say it's been a good 5 years or more since all these micro...

Homebrew stores, perhaps, but there's stacks of craft breweries here in the UK.Dunno when you last lived in Leeds but there's been an explosion of micro breweries in the uk in recent years. I live in London and each of the 32 boroughs seems to have at least one Hi Caire :mug:

I either keep adding it or crash it in the fridge for a day or two, decant and add more wort

I live in London. If you want a pub with a huge amount of hand pulls so you can try all kinds of British (and non Britsh Beers) the Craft beer co has a couple of pubs in central London. Heres the convent garden one http://www.thecraftbeerco.com/covent-garden/ If you fancy a ye old Englande type...

I use 2L pop/fizzy water bottles and like others leave some head space to allow for the expansion of the ice

Thanks guys. I figured that I would be able to use the yeast after quite a long time as long as I started my step ups slowly. My usually step up process for commercial bottle conditioned yeasts is 2x [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] dont have a stir plat btw and just shake the jar/pop...

Your brew seems to have a hard on

I've propagated yeast from both commercial bottle conditioned beers and my own HB bottled beer. What I'm wondering is how long is the yeast viable in HB bottles, kept at room temp, so I can cultured it up again, If I so wish. Ive cultured up from my own bottles after about 2 months but would it...

Probably this one https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=579350

If you decide go for English ales you could also 'reenact' the beer and an authentic period recipe to brew too

I stack all my buckets (of different sizes) inside one another when storing them. I imagine this might scratch them. Doesnt seem to do any harm though

Depends how tight you are. I know of brewers on HBT's UK sister forum THBF that have had their bucket for 10 years

Are you able to get your hands on Morland hens tooth over there? As that is bottle conditioned so you could culture up the morland strain

Thanks for the links chaps. I dont think it's been released here in the UK yet as I can't find it anywhere, so far. I'd deffo be keen to try it out
