Notes

May 26, 2023: Same as prior batch but with Imperial A09 Pub yeast

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

Stir syrup into hot water before adding to BK @ 10-30 minutes

Yeast Options:
- Fermentis S04 - 2nd best so far
- Imperial A09 Pub - best so far
- WYeast 1968 London ESB
- White Labs WLP013 London Ale
- Lallemand London ESB
- WLP002 is supposedly the Fuller's strain
  
  Jul 2022:
  Pushed water in direction of Burton....approx 1/3 of the way.
  Result: Tasted too minerally.
  
  Try 1-2% Victory. Annabrit describes it as "sweet, biscuity, malty, and a teetch nutty". BlackMuse described it as dry, biscuity and nutty.
