Beer Styles: Traditional and Historical English IPA, English Pale Ale, English Bitter styles, Robust Porter, Foreign Stouts
Profile: The revival
of interest in historic and classic English IPA styles calls for a
specialized yeast – this blend highlights hop bitterness and aroma while
still allowing full expression of authentic water profiles and pale
malts. Low to moderate ester level can be manipulated through
fermentation temperature and pitching rate. Palate finish is typically
neutral to mildly fruity with some maltiness. Good flocculation
characteristics make this an excellent candidate for cask conditioning.
Alc. Tolerance 10% ABV
Flocculation med-high
Attenuation 71-74%
Temp. Range 64-74°F (18-23°C)
Fermenting at 65.
Kegged on 3-2. Oh, my, the hop bitterness came thru ever so nicely. A definite winner, one keg is being force carbonated, the other received a 1/4 cup of sugar. Cannot wait for this one to be ready!
This is on tap. The hop bitterness is very clean and well pronounced. The water profile seemed to accentuate this quite nicely, seems to have the flavor of a Meantime IPA. Success!!!
