Yeast a choice of either Gervin English Ale or Windsor ? not made my mind up on that one.Water treatment will be CRS to bring liquor down to 20ppm CaC03 and Gypsum, Calcium Chloride,Magnesium Sulphate as salt additions for a sweet pale Ale profile from Graham's water treatment software.

Cheers.

That looks like a nice one Fubar, have a good brewday I like Gervin personally. Have you considered first wort hopping with the 60 mins additions?

Your recipe looks good to me. As for the yeast I would throw in some of each. The Gervin for good attenuation and the windsor for some good english ale character.

Good luck with the brew!

I might just try FWH with the Fuggle and add the Goldings once it comes to a boil. And yes think it will be the Gervin yeast it does seem pretty neutral and lets the malt and hops shine through.

My kinda beer, that one. Either yeast would be fine diddly fine.

Looks nice and chewy, should be a help on the cold autumn nights.
