Brewing a mild with it this weekend!

That recipe looks great .

(Though I'm not sure why those uppity ponces in West Yorkshire get their own yeast. They think they're so much better than the rest of Yorkshire. Stupid inbred coal-munching whippet-botherers.)

Where do you get that yeast? What manufacturer?

Hmm I dunno about all that LOL, I know have a killer Yorkshire Parkin recipe that is the balls so they are doing something right.

...from a well-known and highly regarded brewery in Keighley, West Yorkshire England.

If that's Timothy Taylor's (they're based in Keighley), then people rave about them. Their "Landlord" beer is very well regarded. I didn't know their yeast was for sale - I'll check it out.

This yeast, when it was released last time got me a first place in the National Homebrewing, first round.for Ord. Bitter. Made it to the minibest of show in the second round, but didnt place. Oh well.

Also got me a first place in our clubs British Beer Fest for Ord. Bitter.

I still have some test tubes of this yeast frozen in the freezer. But I also just bought a new pack and plan on making slants.

That's cool! I've got a Timothy Taylor Best Bitter and Landlord recipe, I should make a clone. The Landlord is just Golden Promise, Styrians, and Fuggles according to the recipe.

That's the Knowle Spring brewery?

I just picked this up today. Doing a version of dragon's milk from radical brewing with it. I'm thinking it should turn out well with this yeast (Wyeast 1469), plus I wanted to get a chance to play with a new seasonal strain!

Yep, that's the one. As it's not that far from where I live, I should see if they do brewery tours...

Better yet, see if they'll give you some yeast slurry!

There is also Malton Brewery in West Yorkshire, check that one out too! They make Double Chance Bitter.
