Ok to save on the guesswork and possibly a wasted brew, could someone kindly recommend a commercial brew for me to try, which displays obvious phenolic character? Ta!
Franziskaner Wheat Beer has a good phenolic hit. Probably more than that you'd get with a Belgian beer. It's avaliable at most Tesco or Sainsbury stores.Ok to save on the guesswork and possibly a wasted brew, could someone kindly recommend a commercial brew for me to try, which displays obvious phenolic character?

Has anyone experienced low attenuation with the CML Real Ale yeast yet, or did I just under pitch?
Brewed my "biggest" beer so far at a whopping 1.064 I only used 1 packet of rehydrated yeast but it appears to have stopped at 1.024 which is only 61%. I usually get mid 70s with this yeast.
I gave it a little stir at the weekend and put it somewhere warmer to see if I can drag a few more points out of it. (mashed at 66c)
Should I have used 2 packets of yeast?
I'm also wondering if the wheat malt I used would affect the FG readings? My last porter accidentally got a double dose of oats and also had a high FG.

Tried a mild and a bitter today both brewed with the ale yeast. The mild is really quite good as against the bitter which is 'just beer',not nasty in any way just bland. From here on it's a liquid yeast if i do a bitter,still not produced one that i can honestly say i must re brew.:-(
What about London ale3? I bought some for a NEIPA but thinking about trying an Adnams clone with it.
Does anyone have an idea of the cell count in a pack of CML yeast?
I'm brewing a 19ltr batch soon with an SG of 1.058. Would one pack of yeast be enough?

As you can see it's not too obvious which is correct, although plenty of people use only a single pack of dry yeast (including myself) without any problems.
