OB Sam Smiths Tadcaster

[EportJake]

This is only my second brew in about 4 months due to the arrival of my first child Amelie. I brewed adm's Wit's End last week and today I gave the recipe from the almanac for OBSST a crack. Stocks were running low:

OB Sam Smiths Tadcaster

OG 1.043, IBU 26.9, ABV 4%, 90 min boil

4025g MO
400g Crystal

23g Fuggles
25g EKG

1350ml Brewlab Yorkshire ale yeast.

21.5L collected @ 1.043

I'd be interested what you think to that yeast.
Where did you get the recipe?

[EportJake]

The recipe was from the real ale almanac in the sticky on the recipe forum.

I've heard years ago that they hit the fermenting wort with oxygen a day after fermentation has started. Has anyone else heard this?
This supposedly promotes diacetyl.

How did this turn out then Jake ?

I've still got the Brew lab yeasts in the fridge ready to step-up but they're getting a bit old now, I might get some fresh ones in

Good luck against Federer BTW

Sounds like a means of recreating the effect of dropping the beer during fermentation. Though TBH it wouldn't surprise me if someone said Samuel Smith were still using the dropping system.
