How Do Dutto ,Hiya,
I love a Mild during the winter and was looking forward to seeing one in "Metric" so that my old brain doesn't hurt too much so .... great! :thumb:
However, I couldn't find any weights for the Hops; which may be up to me misreading the Recipe; in which case I apologise.
Also, what is a BARM? Some type of yeast?
Anyway, regardless of the above "Thanks for the recipe." it looks to be a "Summer for Winter" brew, maybe sometime in June! :thumb:
Hi Chesters,Edd, thanks for the response to my conversations with you, most helpful - I discovered I'd got the CAMRA book so I'll formulate a Chesters clone from the information in there. It may take some time - but there will be plenty of beer to drink!!
Cheers, and thanks again
Hello Edd.Hi All ,
...
Thanks Edd. Here's some info from "Eric" on that other forum (Jim's - I'm sure you snoop around on it, and it wouldn't surprise me to know you know Eric too). Here's a screen capture in case you can't easily find it:Hi Peebee ,

Especially as it contradicted my suggestion. https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-bank/wlp038-manchester-ale-yeast - fascinating discussion on yeast's diastaticus variation. I was happy with my suggestion as it would produce a very attenuated beer, whereas a Yorkshire Square one wouldn't be ("West Yorkshire" yeast from Wyeast isn't a high attenuator in my experience although Wyeast declare it as finishing "dry"). I used to prefer (some) Yorkshire beers when I lived in Lancashire, probably for that reason? Bought up with the sweeter East Midland and Burton-on-Trent bitters.… and on the yeast front , if it was a Yorkshire Square strain hmm , I'd probably go for a John Smith's yeast , as a hell of a lot of the smaller northern brewers were using it , Tong's of Bolton , Whitwell Mark of Kendal etc etc. ...
