All grain recipe kit of this classic British favourite, we recommend using the Yorkshire yeast strain from Brewlabs but have given a choice of other options to ferment this

Brewlab Yeast Slope - Yorkshire Ale Yeast - BB: 20/03/2027

Moderate ester production and medium flocculation.

WLP037 Yorkshire Square Ale - VAULT STRAIN.- PurePitch® Next Generation BB:

This yeast produces a beer that is malty, but well-balanced. Expect flavours that are toasty with malt-driven esters. Highly flocculent and good choice for English pale ales, English brown ales, and mild ales.

Out of stock

Wyeast 1469 WEST YORKSHIRE ALE. BB: 07/11/2026

This strain produces ales with a full chewy malt flavor and character, but finishes dry, producing famously balanced beers. Expect moderate nutty and stone-fruit esters. Best used for the production of cask-conditioned bitters, ESB and mild ales. Reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.

    Wow, my first brew, thought I’d ruined it, added extra sugar to bring the OG up. Left it for 2 weeks using the slope supplied, not much bubbling after the first 2 days.. racked and primed in bottles, it’s more stout than ruby but omg it tastes fantastic 🙂
