Used commercially for several classic American ales. This strain ferments dry, finishes soft, smooth and dean, and is very well balanced.
Notes
Brewed on 6/17. For the Crystal Malt I used homemade that was actually more like 160L. After the starting 1.5 oz of Fuggles, I put the first K. Goldings in at 30 and the second at 15, then .5 of the Fuggles at 5 'cuz I couldn't bear to throw it out. Volume racked to fermenter turned out to be 4.5 gal with OG of about 1.066 (the refract said 16.5). Color is not as red as I hoped but more like a slightly darker Newcastle. When racked to secondary I added 500ml of yogurt whey. This does two things: it acts as a fining agent and adds the lactobacillus (and acidophyllis). On 7/8 I put it to rest under pressure in a corny where it will sit for awhile. When I finally tap it, I will report the results. Cheers.

Chamey-like

I finally drew a glass after almost a year. Color changed from clear-red to hazy reddish brown. Aroma is slightly baby-urp (hey, some famous beers are "barnyard" smell). The tan head goes down to a persistant foam like the crema on espresso. The flavor is creamy and full -very similar to Chimey red. The harsh lacto-tang is gone. It's good and in one more year may be very good. A success.
It just keep getting better, but running out soon.

This beer is going on 4 years old! I sip a little now and then to see how it changes over time (it is and has been in a kegerator since it was '2'). It is very clear now - over 3 years of settling out will do that and is a pretty bright reddish gold. The tan head disapates quickly. The aroma and taste is of licorise (sp) and a little vanilla. There is still a bit of bitterness but no other hop presence.
