Hi BMM
Did you go for a weaker version of the Exmoor beast ? I'm planning to have a go next week splitting into two FV and using TV3 yeast and Yorkshire 1 as comparisons

All,

Apologies for the late feedback on this, but its been in the bottle for several months now and although its a nice ported style beer, it lacks the fullness of ghost ale. I think more chocolate malt needed in the next brew. 8)

Anybody get anywhere with a decent recipe on this one. I'm amazed the brewery wasn't more helpful, when I went on the tour earlier in the year they were very open with their quantities and ingredients (I just wasnt quick enough to write down remember them :( ). They even said I could take some of their yeast if I wanted and I would have done If I had not lived across the other side of the country!

Only two rules:
NEVER talk about Fight Club, and
NEVER turn down brewery-specific yeast

You say YES PLEASE and figure out how to squirrel it once you get out the gates...

I honestly would have done if I thought I would have been able to keep it alive long enough :-(
