Basically, I want to make a Wee Heavy.
But, I will have a perfect yeast cake of WY1469 West Yorkshire, from a Best bitter, that I'd love to use (alternatively I can use this yeast for an NEIPA which works really well).
The recipe is super simple.
93% Maris Otter
5% Munich or Vienna (not sure yet).
2% Roast Barley (up to, I can't remember off the top of my head).
at 45 mins into mashing, take 3.5litres to boil down to a strong syrup and add back to the beer with 10minutes remaining in the boil (somewhat more traditional method of making a Wee Heavy).
My questions is, is this still a Wee Heavy, or would it be better classified as something else? Maybe an Old ale?
