This is the one for sunday,do you think thats enough amber to come through in the beer and balance with the hops.

optic pale - 2300g
amber - 150g
flaked barley - 130g
t-wheat - 130g

hops - brambling cross 8g boil for 90 min
brambling cross 25g boil for 15 min

I would say so DRB. I used 200g amber in a bath ales gem I did a while back and although imo a little smoky at first matured in to a very nicely balanced beer

This brew is very good and the hops work great,gave a few away to a couple of people and they couldn,t believe how good it tasted and wanted more. :shock:

Good work DRB 8)

I think my next beer is going to be hopped solely with brambling cross hops, so it's good to know your beer turned out well.

Hi DRB,

I am going to brew your recipe as one of my next brews, and I've got a vial of WLP 007 Dry English Ale I'm thinking of using for it - do you think a dry finish would suit it?

Also v grateful any steers on your SG and the efficiency value you use for the recipe.

Cheers,
Matt

Never used amber malt but have a bit on my next order. What kind of flavour does it impart?

As for what flavour amber gives I dont know being rather green to what different malt brings.All I know is it works and tastes great :lol:
The recipe is for 12lt based on 65% efficiency.
The og was 1043
bitterness 25
alc 4.2%
As for the yeast cant remember sorry ,it was either wyeast 1335 british ale,sa04 or muntons gold serves me right for not writting that down :(, just try what you have in house.
