Notes

Mash 90mins @152F. Overnight Mash could help to extract all the fermentables. Add Non fermentable grain for top mash last 20 mins.

Can use Goldings or Fuggle Hops

Yeast - (pitch 2 packets due to high gravity and use nutrient)
Mangrove Jack M15 Empire Ale is ideal for a dry yeast
S-04 would be a good backup to use.

General Fermentation guide unless yeast specifies otherwise:
Primary ferment 50-60F (10-16c) for 3 weeks
6-12 weeks of cold conditioning 35-45F (2-7c)
Check Alcohol Tolerance of yeast used
Pressure ferment to lower esters and phenols

Note: Do not add smoked malt. There are a lot of references to smoke flavor - even found this is a brewing book. Any Peet or Hard wood smoked malt will kill this style beer. The smoked flavor you sometimes get is from the roasted barley and from a method sometimes used where you do a long boil (say 3 hours) and it causes the wort to have some caramelization.
