WHC British Pub Ale Yeast is a great choice if you’re looking for a clean, well-rounded fermentation with a touch of traditional English ester profile. It helps enhance the malt character while keeping the finish crisp and balanced, making it ideal for a classic cask-style bitter. Alternatively, Safale S-04 is a reliable and widely used English ale yeast known for its fast fermentation and slightly fuller, fruitier profile. It tends to produce a soft, rounded mouthfeel with gentle esters that complement the toffee and biscuit notes in this recipe. Both yeasts will produce an excellent pint, so the choice comes down to whether you prefer a slightly cleaner pub-style finish (WHC) or a more traditional, fuller English ale character (S-04).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatch size \u003c\/strong\u003e23l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOG \u003c\/strong\u003e1.043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFG \u003c\/strong\u003e1.010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV \u003c\/strong\u003e4.4%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIBU \u003c\/strong\u003e26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEBC\u003c\/strong\u003e16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMalt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaris Otter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHops: Whole Leaf Hops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChallenger\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eYeast 2 options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eS-04 or WHC British Pub Ale Yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAdditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtafloc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to follow instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Proper Pint of Burton-Inspired Bitter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s something timeless about a well-made pint of Bass.
