Pre-boil gravity will be low in BeerSmith because the boil surgars won't be added until last 15 mins. 1 week in primary, 2 secondary. Dry hop final 5 days of secondary.Ratings
Like the look of it.

On Theakstons web site they say they use 2 yeasts. I'm thinking of using Burton ale and Wyeast 3068 to get the slight banana taste they claim is a background taste in OP. Addition to that, I was researching licorice root's origins and found a Yorkshire grower who "supplies licorice to Theakstons brewery for their signature ale" ! No prizes for knowing what that is!
Close, but not quite there yet (to a real OP I mean)
by mchapek2First thing I'll say is that I LOVED this recipe (I like DARK ales)! Old Peculiar is my absolute FAVORITE BEER in the entire world (thus far anyway). It's very difficult to compare this head to head, as it's been a few years now since my last OP...but this is a very dark ale with a nice amount of hops and a very smooth taste. Still, something is missing/different...and if you can figure that out you'll have a real winner (and I might just have to move into your garage)!
