Youngs Special (by request)
I got a request via email today regarding a recipe for Youngs Ram Rod and Youngs Special. Its always great to receive email, it provides encouragement and support. It just so happens that I have a recipe for Youngs Special researched and ready to go but never got to post it given my desire to get going with the Old Ales.
I just made the recipe public on hopville.
The target for Youngs Special is:
OG 1046
FG 1011
4.7% ABV
32 IBU
13 SRM.
This recipe is really close, especially using the London Ale #1028 from Wyeast. Unfortunately Wyeast no longer supplies their Special London Ale strain which was sourced at the Youngs brewery. London Ale #1028 is sourced from Worthington and a great substitute.
The recipe (5 gallons, 3 gallon boil, 20 mins steeping specialty grains) will get the following:
OG 1046
FG 1011
4.7% ABV
32 IBU
11 SRM.
Just a little off on colour. As I replied in my email, this recipe is posted with a disclaimer that I have not personally tested it, something I do with every recipe I have posted so far. Have fun and a great Superbowl. I will be watching the England vs Wales 6 Nations Rugby on Setana (sorry)
