    I'd like to give the Evil Twin Dark Oaked Porter a try, if I'm lucky enough to win.

    Medusa hops

    There's a Brulosophy ' Hop Chronicle ' beer made with Medusa. They're an extremely dank Neomexicanus hop, apparently.

    Favorite Yeast for brewing Real Ale

    WLP006 Bedford Ale yeast, purportedly the Charles Wells strain. Easily the best yeast I've used for English style ales.

    Lemon and Lime Beer

    Something like Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde as a base beer, with lemon and lime peel added to some vodka to make a tincture, might work.

    Andrew Neil to leave the BBC 'with heavy heart'

    His Ben Shapiro interview is a thing of beauty. Squeaky little Ben, hearing that Andrew Neil was right wing, expects a free-pass. Gets his @ss handed to him. It just never gets old.

    Mangrove Jacks Liberty Bell M36 yeast in a Red IPA kit.

    @jimbo1982 What was the OG and current gravity on your milk stout ? Depending on how much lactose you added, you can expect it to bump up the FG a fair bit. Also, the attenuation on MJ Empire Ale is relatively low.

    Saison Brew - Advice needed

    I've used the CML Saison yeast twice, and ended up with a banana-bomb both times. It's nothing like Belle Saison or the Mangrove Jacks M29 in my experience, and it finished about 1.010, whereas the other dry saison yeasts I've used finished at 1.000 with the same recipe. The banana does fade...

    Kveik

    @ Northern_Brewer Thanks for the info. I phrased the question badly, I just wanted to know which of the yeasts' would work best in a hoppy style and which in a malt-forward beer ( with a grainbill similar to a Belgian beer ). I'll try the Ebbegarden or Hornindal for a hoppy beer. Maybe the Espe...

    Kveik

    If I was looking for two Kveik yeasts on Ebay, one 'fruity' for NEIPA's, IPA's, Pales etc and one 'weird, funky, Belgian-ish' for more malt-centric styles, which two should I go for ?

    Hazy Dipa.

    Try Googling 'skunking' for a full answer, but basically certain hop compound react with UV light to produce unpleasant skunk-like aromas/flavours.

    Yeast Lucky Dip

    I got WLP650 in a lucky dip a while back. I did a split batch Tripel, pitching the Brett. into secondary and leaving it to do its thing for a few months. The beer turned out really well. I didn't make a starter, as I reckoned on Brett. being fairly hardy. You could always do a search for an...

    Some people really shouldn't be allowed pets. Or oxygen.

    Cream ale fermentation stalled

    Where did you get your recipe from ? Cream ales don't have lactose in as a rule, which would explain the high FG. If you punch the recipe into some brewing software I think you'll find the FG is about right taking the unfermentable lactose into consideration.

    Bedford British ale yeast

    I seem to remember setting up an email alert, possibly with Brewuk.
