Re: Cardiff Bitter
It was 26 liters and tasted very good, more malty than I usually prefer. The recipe was based on GW's Courage Directors but it is so long since I've had any of that I can't tell how good a clone it was.
I've since brewed a single hop Amarillo based on the reciipe from the Greg Hughes book and then yesterday a bitter based on GW's Black Sheep clone. I'm looking forward to both of them.
