This recipe won Best of Show at the Norwich Amateur Brewers’ “Brew Like a Monk” homebrew competition in October 2023. It is based on a recipe which I brewed for the ACB v NAB inter-club competition in late 2021, but I had to change the yeast as I couldn’t get the Fermentum Mobile Magical Garden yeast this time.
