Just tried a youngs special London ale, just the sort of thing I want to bottle and keep.
Anyone got a recipe? It's bottle conditioned, does anyone know if it's the original yeast?

Re: London
It is a lovely beer and was one of my regular weekend beers as Swiss supermarkets regularly stocked it. Only one place sells it now and somewhat sporadically at that. I kept a few bottles back in my cellar - the last of which I drank a month ago. It ages well but the marmaladey flavours subside.
Ramblings asides, all I have is what Protz reports in his 300 more beers to try before you die
It's brewed using Marris Otter and crystal malt and is hopped with fuggles, goldings and target. It's warm conditioned on a bed of goldings and target before being cold conditioned, filtered and reseeded. No mention if it's reseeded with youngs yeast, well's yeast or anything else for that matter.
Wish I could offer more.
Cheers
Jason

Re: London
there is a recipe in graham wheelers brew your own real ale book.I assume it is for draught youngs special but the malt and hops you listed are the same so I guess must be close.
I have brewed it several times but have never drunk the bottled version pretty close to the draught in my opinion
see this post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=56603&p=594518&hili ... al#p594518
