Mild Ale Number 5
Northern English Brown Ale • All Grain • 5 gal
I won first place in Brown Ales with this recipe more than once. Use Maris Otter malt where it says Englsh 2 row. This is probably the best recipe I ever made.

Wyeast 1882-PC Thames Valley Ale II
Wyeast 1882-PC Thames Valley Ale II
This strain was originally sourced from a now defunct brewery on the banks of the river Thames outside of Oxford, England. Thames Valley II produces crisp, dry beers with a rich malt profile and moderate stone fruit esters. This attenuative strain is also highly flocculent resulting in bright beers not requiring filtration. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.
