Notes

no starter

Virginia Farm House rhett thing?
Use a blend of pale malts? ESB, MO, Golden P, 2-row? - maybe toast some malt - 8%?


Fermentation will occur quickly, but must do a diacytle rest by raising the temp slightly to 68/69F for a few days to urge the yeast to clean up. Once signs of flocculation show step temp up, or when krausen starts to fall.

be careful to monitor boil gravity. If it is too low add some DME to boost OG 3 - 4 oz

rebrew edits
Drop the carafa malt and use more base malt
also, consider using a different yeast wlp002 i find slightly weird, sort of smoky tasting.
and do a 50/50 split of maris otter/golden promise and ESB malt.
could be slightly more bitter, but only slightly. like 15 IBU?
also, find different way to darken, perhaps use a darker sugar and more, also only a touch of black malt, and maybe some amber malt?

  • maybe use some amber malt, and replace the crystal 75 with either fawcett dark crystal (british malt) or drop to crystal 60. Balance these malts though.
