With the kids back in school and involved in various after school/weekend activities, I have not had time to brew. Today at lunch, I went to the LHBS and picked up some new yeasts I haven't used:
Wyeast 1275 - Thames Valley
Wyeast 1318 - London III
Wyeast 1026 - Cask Ale
I also grabbed some more Fuggles and Whitbread Goldings Variety hops. Plenty of malt in stock already.
The plan is to brew on Sunday. I would love to pull off a double brewday but I also have to bottle my mead that day so I think I'll play it safe and just brew one beer. I want to brew some sort of bitter from GW's book and use the cask ale yeast because this one is going into the polypin. If all goes well, this will be the inaugural beer for the hand pull!
Any recommendations on a beer to brew? I want something in the low to mid 1.040's OG that will lend itself well to being "casked" in a polypin.
