That would be awesome. I'm happy to do a swap as well. I have in bottles a Belgian blonde fermented with wy1388 Belgian Strong Ale yeast which I can send in return. (I also have other beers if you're getting tired of Belgians!)Great, thanks for that. I'll make a starter on weds and see if I get any life before pitching on Sunday...if things go to plan!
Yes, yeast is important for this one. If all goes well I may pop a couple in the post for you to try.
The recipe is:
3.5kg pale malt
3.5kg pilsner malt
300g caramalt
500g golden syrup
10g Polaris @ 60 min
25g Saaz @ 10 min
25g Fuggles @ 10 min
It's ~23 IBU and 8.9% ABV.
It was quite harsh tasting with a lot of phenolic flavour, but over time the flavour has been improving and is becoming quite enjoyable.
