Yes, if you want esters. As mentioned when I did mild at normalish ale temp I found it relatively clean and could only get some of the esters I wanted at the top end of it's fermentation range

My ale is at 20 as per recipe and around mid way of the packet guide. It's bubbling nicely and looks like there's things swimming round in it!
I'm hoping to bottle my bipa early next week then brew Monday. ..could be a Yorkshire bitter with the CML ale.

I was going to give up on bitter and also mild,only made the one decent bitter and that was extract.
I have a pack of the real ale yeast so may have a another go

I would suggest a lowish OG as the real ale yeast is so malty. But tbh if you want to make a good bitter like you get in the best pubs you HAVE to use a good English yeast strain as bitters and English styles in general are so yeast driven. So you need a liquid/bottle cultured yeast and not dried as dried just doesnt cut the mustard for this style.

You did tell me that before:thumb:i am a lazy so and so and can't be a###d to culture:nono::mrgreen:and my small batches can't justify slinging in a liquid one.

All the bitter I've made using either bought liquid or cultured up strains have been far superior than the bitters I've made using dried. You do 10L batches? I think it waould at most only take 2 steps. I've been reading some stuff over at jims that states (backed up with anecdotal evidence) we need far less yeast than we think we do

Yes i do the odd 10/12 litre batches.What liquid (bought) yeast would you recommend:thumb:

Being tight and perfering to culture up from the bottle I've only ever bought one and that was the Wyeast 1469 Yorkshire ale yeast (possibly the timothy taylor strain). It's got a great reputation and it lived up to it. It was superb

Which bottled beer has wyeast 1469, I fancy having a go at culturing up yeast

There isnt a bottled beer that has this strain in, and Timothy Taylor dont do any bottle cultured beers. The only way to get it is to buy it (afaik)

I'm liking Wyeast 1099 Whitbred Ale, the brown ale got a slightly cold fermentation and is quite clean allowing the crystal and chocolate malts to shine through. The bitter I've just done with it got a steady 20c in my new fridge and is brilliantly eatery and tasty.
Got a brown porter started yesterday with the 1469 bubbling nicely at 18c as I remember someone on here saying the esters go a bit OTT above 20c.

Hmm I'm wondering whether I should go with the CML ale in the Yorkshire bitter or try the liquid....

Good bunch of guys, very friendly. Got 4 packs of the real ale yeast in the post on Friday. Looking forward to try them
You will not be disappointed - their stuff is all I use now, and not because it's cheap!!
