Landlord.
Thanks Ronne but I'll avoid low alcohol beers, I bought the Firm and want to use it on an English bitter at about 4.5% ABV.
Bought but not used yet.Has anyone tried the new clipper yeast?
Only just read this.From Crossmyloof's Facebook group;
'I've been told I need to tell people we've taken hold of two new beer yeasts before I get too merry - hic! 'Flushed Nun' - An Abbey Ale yeast and 'The Firm' - a Full Bodied English. After a test brew or two, and enjoying as we speak, I can confirm Friday afternoon's not looking too badOnce I'm a bit more sober we'll do some kind of giveaway competition too. Probably early next week. Let's hope the weather holds for the weekend and enjoy whatever you're up to. The CML Brew team'
The Firm.... i.e. the Queen... Windsor!!! Yay!!! Been waiting for this for ages. Don't know what Flushed Nun will be. Cant wait to try this, I've always said CML were missing a Windsor / Empire / London type of dry yeast in their line up. Eeeeekkk! Quite excited. If its a decent price, co-pitching with Wilko Notty could be just what I'm after.
I'd appreciate thoughts and any experience on 'The Firm' yeast since I'm looking to get my Christmas ale on next weekend and have some of this in the fridge. I'd ideally use Wyeast 1968 London ESB, or lallemand London ESB, but wondered whether the Firm yeast would be a close enough match? Thanks.
What attenuation have been getting with it?I'll be bottling my oatmeal stout this week which I used Firm yeast in, also have just brewed a christmas old ale with it but that's still going like the clappers in the fv. I'll let you know how it goes.

I finally made an APA using Clipper yeast and it gave an attenuation of 92% which is incredible. However floculation is pretty poor with floating trub.
Yes very impressive i got 81% attenuation.Interesting! I spoke to Steven about this yeast today and he said it's similar to London Ale III, so I've ordered some for a New England Pale I plan to make.
Has anyone else used Clipper?
