Notes

This is an attempt at a historic London brown ale for a local brew club competition.

Using my local tap water profile, and adjusting to the ‘London’ profile result in the gypsum/chalk/baking soda additions. These would vary for other water profiles.

Going with dry yeast because I had to order too far prior to brewing this for a liquid yeast to work.
