As it's a Sunday so a no noise day I'm doing a Timothy Tailor Landlord AG BIAB brew.
I hope it turns out as good as the Black Sheep Best Bitter which is stunning.
 
I'll be following this for the first pint tasted commments as I've got Wheeler's book for Christmas and love the Landlord Ale, it's on my brewing plan, would be nice to know it's going to be as good as I hope :)
 
It's been in the PB at 20c for a week and I've just chilled a sample.
Good head and clear (no finings).

Tastes divine!

This AG lark really produces some stunning ales.

Deuchars IPA next I think.
 
Titus I'm planning to do gw recipe this weekend out of interest what yeast did you use and what's the taste like now. Is it a good clone of the original

I would use something like s05 which will give it a fruity taste :)
 
You can get Timothy Taylor liquid yeast from Wyeast, it's the Wyeast 1469. Brewuk stock it:

It'll set you back £6+, but with all the time and effort you put in to a brew it has got to be worth it, I reckon. And you can wash and re-use the yeast, or just rack your next brew onto the yeast when you bottle it, or simply put some slurry in a sterilised jar and use that within a couple of weeks, or make a starter from some of the yeast slurry. Or you can make starters from the dregs of your bottled Landlord. Or make 12 starters from one pack of yeast, like this...

Which makes the cost negligible. 60p a go. And it's a really useful new skill to develop. You can't clone a beer without using the right yeast, loads of British ales have similar recipes, it's mainly the water and the yeast that vary, I reckon. I think Landlord uses Golden Promise malt though, and that will provide a key flavour contribution. You can use the right malt and hops, and you can use the right yeast for this particular beer, at least. The water is trickier...
