Elusive Spellbinder cracked open. Delicious!
Now trying the real thing and I think the clone is nicer. Possibly down to the coffee used, the real one has a bit of a burnt/old coffee hint to it.Elusive Spellbinder cracked open. Delicious!
Hi Gibbo. I’ve been looking at this kit to put in an a PB. How did it turn out?https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/timothy-taylor-landlord-premium-kit/
Got a brew on last night as been struggling to squeeze day time brews in at the moment …
So had a go at the MM landlord premium kit , all went fairly well although my notes went a bit wayward as the evening drew on .
Anyways over shot numbers slightly , ended up 5-6 points over on the SG.
Will keep you posted on the outcome…

Hi Gibbo. I’ve been looking at this kit to put in an a PB. How did it turn out?
Massive thanks, I think my water’s already got a lot of chlorine in to start with so I might be ok. Cheers.Brewed this several times, not the kits as the ingredients I keep in stock just used the same recipe and yeast, and it is the clone recipe I find closest to the real thing just make your water more chlorine forward.
Hi ya , overshot my numbers on brew day a bit on this one. Ended up at 5.3% I think.. Also as I was transferring to keg I thought it looked a bit dark and murky. Then a brew day flash back occurred , I’d left out the Irish moss.. so even after a couple of months on tap it does look a bit muddy unfortunately. How ever they all errors of my own . Regardless of appearance there’s no question. It’s a good TT clone as it smells and tastes bang on . So defo a kit I may revisit .Hi Gibbo. I’ve been looking at this kit to put in an a PB.

Sounds like a winner. Can’t wait to order it in.Hi ya , overshot my numbers on brew day a bit on this one. Ended up at 5.3% I think..

In between a stout and an APA I’m Looking at the MM Sussex bitter to do next …Anyone tried that ?
Hi ya Sym , HNY , how did your five points best turn out .I am brewing the MM Centennial delight this weekend. I currently have the MM five points best bitter in the FV and will be barrelling/bottling this weekend.
I brewed the MM DK Vic Secret pre Christmas and it’s just coming into it’s own.
When first kegged the beer was very bitter but leaving it alone for a while has done wonders. A very pleasant drop.
So today I’ve brewed it’s sibling, MM DK Centenial Delight, on my shiny new G40 I might add!
Hit the numbers and 23 litres are sitting in the FV.
I’ll not rush to start drinking this one if the Vic Secret is anything to go by.
All that range is very good and all benefit with a period of conditioning. I have started doing other variations using the same malt bill with different single hops. Over Xmas I was drinking Ernest delight probably my favourite so far.
I use liquid yeast in all my beers with the Ernest I used white labs Essex all one of my favoritesThat's good to know, I did notice the grain bill is exactly the same for Vic Secret & Centennial.
Different yeasts though.
Lallemand American West Coast Ale vs. Lallemand Verdant IPA respectively.
I tried my first pint of this last weekend, I brewed it a month or so back using Nottingham ale yeast somehow it ended up at 4.9% but its tasting good. Pleased with this onehttps://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/sussex-best-bitter-clone/
Got this on today , brew went well and all the numbers hit .
Used WLP 002 as yeast not included in kit.
22L in FV ..
Will keep ya posted ..
