Recipie Advice - Challenger / Bobek / Fuggles

[liamtmt7]

Hi guys, lost my brewing mojo a bit recently, not brewed for 2 months.

Will be getting a brew on tomorrow, one of my favourites which I have made twice, and it has turned out fantastic both times.

I am hoping to get another brew on in the next few weeks - something a little bit different. See below.

All advice / critique welcome. First time using Bobek.

Does that mean 60g bobek at 10 mins, or is its misprint?

You might want to do a glucan rest on the oats as well. But it seems like a hop monster. I would never add 180g of hops to a beer, but then my taste is based on Scottish beers, not US ones.

Misprint. Should be 30g at 10mins and 30g at steeping

Cheers.

Will be using porridge oats, but brewmate doesn't have an option for that.

200g oats won't be an issue, go for it!

How hoppy would this be compared to a Punk IPA?? Sounds like a tasty recipe but I've never done a really hoppy English IPA.

I'm not sure to be honest Alex - will get a brewday thread on the go when I brew it and report back with the results.

Cheers. I'll be following with interest!
