Re: The Double Drop - Old Traditional Method
this will be very interesting, just been on a tour of wychwood the weekend and they said they tried to do the beer without the double drop and it just did not taste the same.
So thats why they still do it there in the original FV from Henley

Re: WLP002
I propogated yeast from Fullers Begal Lancer for my last stout which I believe is WLP002. I was suprised I got it down from 1060 to 1016 and it tastes smooth as silk. One thing I did notice was a strong smell of pears today after 14 days in the fv at a steady 19C. It's not unpleasant just unexpecte...

Re: Do liquid yeasts really make that much difference?
been reading lots about them 007 and 002 and i must say i have not heard a bad word, thats what has lead me to try them.
You say you got it down to 1.010 my OG was 1.043 so i work that out to be about 4.2% , for me just right i dont like head banging gear

Re: fermenting - bottling routes
same as thatRunwell-Steve wrote:I go the simple route.
1. Primary FV for about 2 weeks, or until gravity is at required level.
2. Rack to Bottling bucket adding priming sugars in bulk, I don't bother with finings.
3. Bottle using little bottler.
4. Cap using Bench Capper, Job done
