nice one, I got a lot from the GW books when I first started ag brewing and im sure you'll get plenty of good beer from those recipes.

Thanks looking forward to getting stuck in! Need to stovmk up on the giggles and goldings though! I've a freezer full of cascade, well generally American and nz hops!!!!!!! That's terrible isn't it!?

[oakwell]

not really. some types aren't always available so it seems sensible to stock up when they are. I brewed mainly american styles last year but now looking forward to getting back to brewing some more traditional recipes

[fatcontro11er]

Other than stouts it's ipa and ambers that I brew mostly tbh!

Even though I haven't brewed a single beer from that book. It's still an exceptional read. A lot of the malt and hop bills are transposable and will work as a starter for 10 to get you into your own recipes. GW's book, Clone Brews (optional), John Palmer's book, and Ray Daniel's Designing Great Beers are all you'll ever need. (Although I also have Mitch Steele's IPA book because I love the style!)

When I first start I bought bbltyb and found that very useful I now make all my own recipes up but I'm going to try and brew some of the ales I've drank in years past and some the beers in here are a real blast from the past!

You can always swap out the goldings/fuggles for your other hops. NZ hops work very nicely in British style ales, especially Pacific Jade and Motueka.

Think I'll try the ttl any particular yeast and any other tips for this recipe?

[Fuggley Duckling]

I brewed the ttl recipe using wyeast 1469 (which is apparently the timmy taylor strain) and it turned out great.

Good choice.

If you use Wyeast 1469 / WLP037 it may be a good idea oxygenate well at the start and to rouse it a bit as I believe its a Yorkshire square yeast.

Your pic wasn't showing above..

Yeah, I gave the fermenter a swirl every 24 hours for 7 days. A word of warning, 1469 takes FOREVER to flocculate - if you plan on adding any dry hops it's a good idea to wait another 7 days or so after primary has finished before you add them.
