Probably Mash high at 69c, possibly use a couple of packs of Windsor yeast that have been in the fridge for a while... this could possibly be one of the simplest recipes I've ever made!!!

Simples ones normally turn out the best Ade! Sounds good to me! Dont like Windsor yeast mind!!!!!!!!

[WishboneBrewery]

could always go for good old s-04, though its made things a bit dry lately.

[Mattypower]

The unfermentables should be enough for a little sweetness! s-04 or Notty normally my choice of weapons!!!!!!!!!

[WishboneBrewery]

Yeah, I think I've talked myself into Notts The Mash is on.

[Rookie]

Pretty close to my mild recipe except I use all goldings hops.
I've used several different yeasts, but not the nottingam. The last time I brewed it I used safale-04 with good results.

[WishboneBrewery]

I've pitched Notts... though I nearly went through with the Windsor!
Maybe I'll give it a chance on the next brew.

[Mattypower]

Windsor works quite well as a yeast for some wheat beers!!!

[lupulin]

That looks pretty delicious. Let us know how it turns out. I haven't ever used chocolate wheat let alone thought of it for a mild.

[WishboneBrewery]

its almost a first for me too, only used the Choc Wheat in a dark wheat beer so far.

[72mgb73gt]

This sounds really good. Must put a Mild on my list of things to brew.

This is the time of year for a nice Mild!

Mild Malt and also Munich Malt are really nice substitutes for Pale in a brew such as this.

I recall brewing a lovely smooth one a few years back with 20% each of Mild & Munich. I'd be happy to let them take a bit more percentage of Pale. Brown Malt is always a good addition for the colour as its less harsh than choc.

I used some Mild Ale Malt in my last Stout, though i don't think it added much. I'll have to try a larger proportion of it sometime.
