Despite nearly 50 AG brews under my belt, it annoys me my best brew was one I did early in the brewing career in which I threw pale and amber malt extract, dark spray malt and some sugar together with 100g black malt, challenger and fuggles in a pan on the stove to make a porter. Fermented with an old packet of muntons ale yeats from a burst kit. 18 months in bottle, amazing. Of the rest a 100% Vienna with saaz and a malty blonde with cascade have been the stand outs. My ambition is to brew a session bitter in the Yorkshire style that I really like. Not getting close at the moment.

[darkonnis]

Black sheep best bitter, I made it a touch sweeter and it was nicer than what they sell (to me atleast). Made a few good ales, with a mate of mine saying. "Being honest mate your a bit of a c**t really, you make your own beer and its mint, you cook food and thats mint, your mrs is mint, there just no competing", I was happy with that because he doesn't dish out many compliments usually.

That's a moment when you lean back in your chair, put a cigar between your teeth, hands behind your head and go "yeah" with a slight nod of the head!

Satisfyingly smug!!

[DerbyshireNick]

I forget who but someone here posted one called bombay IPA which i tried with both my own and the original malt bill and the original is quite close to Jaipur. Not my personal fav in terms of taste as I am not a massive Jaipur fan but in terms of replication that was a good one.
