My yeast slants have turned up from Brewlab i ordered TV 3 and also asked if they could provide a slant for a close match to use on a recipe for the BlackSheep Brewerys BlackSheep Ale they have kindly provided a slant named BS-HH roll on the weekend now all i need is a good recipe

Bonus on the Black Sheep yeast!

I went on a tour two years ago, not sure how useful this is but:

Black sheep mash at 68 and rouse every 3 hours for 6 minutes over first 3 days in squares, yeast otherwise kept separate.

I also noted that they had their own borehole and seemed to use Simpsons malts and presumably Fawcetts given the packaging.

Is the Black Sheep Ale recipe in Wheeler's CAMRA guide to brewing real ale?

Its in one of his books im sure, i think i made it and it was nothing like the real thing Maybe down to the yeast though?

Slants are new to me im thinking about making slants myself for storage reasons and to spread the cost of slants, i have noticed you posted on a slant thread tbh i was going to be cheeky and pm you and ask what your method is

So the quest continues call me mad if you like I have decided to re master some slants, i have watched all the youtube vids and it looks easy he says laughing so i have invested in some kit to do so

I came across this article today it may be interesting to anyone that was thinking about going down the same route
