Notes

Taken from David Heath's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psfYrLCg6kE

  • The golden syrup definitely adds a butterscotch/caramel flavor.
    Stir syrup into hot water before adding to BK at 10 minutes

    Yeast Options:
    • WYeast 1968 London ESB
    • White Labs WLP013 London Ale
    • Fermentis S04
    • Lallemand London ESB
    • Imperial Yeast A09 Pub (on BF meeting Josh said he heard this is what Fullers uses)

      Water: Target sulfate:Chloride ratio of 2:1
      Note from April 2021 session suggests a 3:1 ratio for more hop bitterness.
