Dronfieldbrewer
Landlord.
I am brewing this week, an Amber ale....
Pale Malt, Crystal and loaded with goldings, going for abv of about 4.5-4.6%
I've just looked at my yeast that I top cropped from the last brew and am not convinced of its viability ( it has a bit of a wiff to it), if in doubt, chuck it out so my Mum used to say.
so choices....I can either culture some up from a bottle of Dronfield Redneck or order some new stuff from Malt Miller.
I am hoping to keep a bit of sweetness in the finished brew, I need a good hop aroma and for it to be a good yeast for bottling, anyone got any suggestions? I initially thought of WLP001 or WLP023 Burton
