Pedigree

[MARMITE]

Promised to come back to the forum with some feedback on the Pedigree brewed on the 4th November. The basic recipe was based on GW's Pg 117 and taking Daab's advice to replace the Maltose syrup with flaked maize.

The brew was racked into demi-johns on 13th November and casked on 15th using 2oz priming sugar, as the OG had dropped tp 1011.
The brew was transferred from a 15C environment to a cool room at about 7C. Sampled today - little bit hazy, not a bad taste but nothing like Pedigree, too harsh (although the beer is still young), too much body and slightly too bitter. Thought about trying to brew it again by introducing 1lb sugar and reducing pale malt and flaked maize by 1lb each, also reducing hops by 10%.

Has anyone got any better ideas?
