Timothy Taylor’s
The brewery was established in 1858 in Keighley, West Yorkshire. The focus was on excellence and not wanting to be second best. This ethos led to using the finest ingredients, a well was sunk for spring water.
Timothy Taylor’s Landlord made its first appearance in 1952 and is a mainstay in pubs all over the UK still.
Malt Extract Version
To brew a malt extract version of this beer substitute the Golden Promise malt for one the following:
2.7kg pale dry malt extract
or
3.3kg pale liquid malt extract
Add a third of the malt extract at the start of the boil and the remaining 2/3rds a few minutes before the end of the boil.
Recipe Notes
- The best source of information on Landlord is on Timothy Taylor’s own website. The ingredients, yeast and bitterness are all listed so it is a case of piecing together this information.
- The Graham Wheeler book Brew Your Own British Real Ale has a recipe for Landlord that is referenced for the recipe above.
I’m a little confused by the hop (and sometime yeast) ingredients list. Each line of type alternates from black to grey. Are they options or do you use both?
Use all the ingredients listed. The font colour is just formatting. Sorry for the confusion.
