This is our interpretation of Emerson’s Bookbinder. In Emerson’s own words Bookbinder is:
A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale. Bookbinder is a blend of four malts combined with two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Riwaka). The beer pours an attractive reddish brown, with a cream coloured head. Bookbinder has a sweet, perfumey, malt and hop aroma with a soft, malty, fruit and vinous palate that is both full flavoured and refreshing with a long, gently drying finish.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Vape, the yeast currently by Emerson's to produce Bookbinder. Alternatively we recommend using Lallemand Verdant IPA, or you could also try Fermentis S-04 or Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell.
