Hello,

Here's the info for Briars Best which won the Bitter category at the CBA's Sutton festival in Nov '07.

BRIARS BEST

30 litres OG 1.052 ABV 5.1% 27 units of bitterness

MARIS OTTER PALE MALT 5370 gms
CRYSTAL MALT 630 gms

HOPS Boil time 90 minutes
CHALLENGER 50 gms

25 gms of challenger added in the last 15 minutes

Safale S-04

NB. Check your efficiency, I hit 84% for this recipe. At 70% you should get a brew that is 4%ABV.

I really don't want this thread to fall by the wayside. I think there are a lot of fantastic recipes in the record books of some of the forum members here...but perhaps they're too humble. :lol: This is a recipe that won a third place in the American Amber ale category in a local hb store's annual competition. It is a very versatile recipe, so feel free to change up the hops as desired--the result will probably be as good or better.

Cat's Pajamas
19L - 2.5 gallon boil

2.7 kg Amber malt extract syrup
450g Pale Malt
450g Medium Crystal malt
85 g Chocolate malt

Centennial for bittering
15 g Cascade and 15 g Centennial hops for last 10 minutes of the boil
15 g Cascade and 15 g Centennial hops steeped for 15 minutes after the boil

Add enough bittering hops to get a final IBU of about 30.
I used Safale 05 for this beer, but Nottingham will work just as well IMO.

Just a bump for the Styrian Stunner. It took 1st place in the East region for the National HomeBrew Comp 1st. round.
Did that last year too, but didnt win anything in the final round. Hopefully this time it fares a wee bit better. Used WY1469 Tim Taylor yeast for this. Man this is good beer!
