Looks like a really nice recipe. That's a lot of amber malt to put in an ale imo. Amber malt makes itself known even in small amounts. Probably just personal taste though, you'll end up with a very malty beer.

Be very interested to know how this turns out. I've been looking to brew an Abbot style clone myself. Get some pics up once it's fermented if you can.

this one went down the drain unfortunatley.

Not quite sure what went wrong, had a distinct vinegar smell today and a quick taste confirmed my suspisions. Quite gutted as I was looking forward to this one.

Have been busy recently, it should have been bottled ages ago. Will put it down to too long on the trub and lack of temp control.

Gutting! The longest I've gone in the FV is 3 weeks.

Good luck for next time.
