Brew Day! Landlord Clone

well drinking it just now not a bad pint but it lacks the caramel taste so i am going to do the same brew again but boil 8 ounces of molasses into it at the start of the boil and see how that goes :

Use a different yeast. Malt flavour is heavily affected by the yeast.

what yeast would you recommend to use

From the page before they seem to suggest wyeast 1469 which is the yorkshire yeast.. Spapro also said he was reccommended teh yeast slope of yorkshire

Ive ordered 100g each of bobek and celia hops and the wyeast 1469 and im getting this on on Sunday. Should be a corker for Christmas drinking!!

Yeah sorry, Wyeast 1469 is a great choice. Can you keep the fermentation temperature down below 20C? 1469 can get quite funky above 20C, it seems to me. Also, if the room the FV is in is 20C, the ferment temperature will be more like 24C. The fermentation will raise the temperature of the beer in the FV. So a stick on thermometer on the side of the FV is a good idea.

The Harvey's/Sussex yeast could also be a good choice as to me, the yeast flavour of these two beers is quite similar.

Have my ferment fridge which I will set to 18c.

I am also planning on top cropping the yeast after a couple of days fermentation for a future brew!

Maybe someone with temp control could advise on temperature. Does your internal thermometer measure the temp of the air in the fridge, or the FV wall?

I have a litre pet bottle of water in there and put the temp probe into here which is right next to the fv.

What a cool idea. However, he thinks out loud, fermentation raises the wort temperature by a few degrees, and that won't happen in the bottle of water. So the temp will be a few degrees different while the main fermentation is taking place. I read a thread recently on another site in which a chap did tests on the temp of the wort during fermentation inside his fermentation fridge. He found that the wort was about 4 degrees warmer than the air in the fridge during the busiest fermentation period. But only about 0.5 degrees warmer than the wall of the FV, to which he taped the temp probe. I need to check if he was working in celsius or fahrenheit.

My mate has located me a fridge, so pretty soon I will be working these things out for myself.

tweaked the recipe today added 8 ounces of molasses at the start of the boil for 30 minutes then used wyeast 1469 hope this gives a good caramel flavor time will tell it wont be ready till about the middle of February :)
