Hi there. Homebrewer from Charleston, SC. I've brewed several historical beers and am going to try this one!
ReplyDeleteHow Do Lowell ,
DeleteGood Luck with the brew 🤞🍻,
Edd
Edd, thanks. What kind of yeast did you use for this? Or if not brewed, what would you suggest?
DeleteHi Lowell ,
DeleteI`d forgotten to put the specific yeast strain type in the main recipe , I`d plump for an Edinburgh type .
Cheers ,
Edd
Wanted to say I brewed this beer April 7th 2023. I did use the WLP028 Edinburgh ale yeast. OG was 1.089 and FG was 1.023 for a really nice 8.9% beer. Was very tasty and people who like this style really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteHi Lowell ,
