I've been meaning to do this for a while, this is my Summer Lightening clone.
Please excuse the excessive head.

Have you got a flat cap and whippet?

No excuses needed welcome to the North :lol: :lol:

If you carry on brewing beer with a head like that you may get residency and perhaps in time, full citizenship and a passport.

PS I forgot to say great looking pint :thumb: :thumb:

Cheers Keith :thumb: how close are the results to the real mccoy?

 

[keith1664]

Well it wasn't an exact copy, but that's probably down to the yeast, I used S04.

 

[mickeyt69]

yeh what yeast would you use in its place Nottingham?

 

[keith1664]

I don't know. Up until today all I'd ever used were S04 and US05!

 

[mickeyt69]

yeh my yeast knowlege is pretty much the same maybe someone else can shed some light on it for us

Well it wasn't an exact copy, but that's probably down to the yeast, I used S04.

I'd have used S-05 on that type.
But rumour has it you can scavenge the yeast from their bottles to use. :hmm:
