Lovely beer, so this is a bookmark if you brew it


just seen the OP was a couple of years ago Has anyone tried a version of this beer?

That's about 80% apparent attenuation so we can safely rule out windsor

Blond ale type thing?

100% lager malt, one 15m big hop addition for a nice hoppy flavour beer or the standard 60m bitter addition then some late additions. Use something like s05 for yeast

Interesting recipe, hope it turns out good! Maclays used to make an oat malt stout, I think they started rebrewing it at Clockwork too, but it's a brewpub really so hard to produce much. Oat Malt is supposed to be able to convert itself so you could do a 100% oat malt beer. The historic oat malt sto...

That's handy


Here's another from a blog, albeit he's not done that many yet, just six or so I think

US-05 takes ages for the krausen to drop for me - it finishes fermenting easily enough but the yeast seems to like hanging around. I'm never in a rush to bottle though, so I just let it drop of its own accord.

Brewtarget for me, hits all the numbers perfectly, looks great and it's free

Mild is the best type of beer I've had with curry to date imo. And I eat and cook a lot of curry

I would, two is only 900g of LME which is why I added more sugar, otherwise you'll end up with a weak stout unless you brew it pretty short.

I use two jars in my recent brew, a coopers stout. It came out really fruity/cola tasting but I also added 450g of dark invert sugar made from demerara sugar, so it could also have been that .

it's a nice pint.

I liked Brewdogs Bramling X IPA is Dead beer. Pretty good for a single hop IPA

I love WLP530, gives a wonderful spicy flavour and it smells amazing when fermenting. You will need a blowoff hose, first time I used it on a reasonable sized beer I lost about 1/4 of the batch of beer due to blowoff. Made an unholy mess of the carpet as I wasn't expecting it If you want your candy/...
