Old Brewery Bitter Samuel Smiths Tadcaster

[mbaker]

Hi,

This is my first recipe post, and I just wanted to comment on a batch of Old Brewery Bitter I have just made according to Norman's recipe (I used S0-4 yeast but might use Nottingham in future?). I took a punt on this beer as I was just looking for a recipe to use up some hops in the freezer as well as having the right amount of pale/crytsal malt in my stock. Bottom line is that I'm really pleased I did, it has turned out to be a great bitter with a fantastic balance between hop and malt flavours. Importantly, the reduction of un-hopped wort into a syrup (according to the method posted by Norman) gave a really nice (but subtle) toffee flavour to the beer. This is one recipe that I have included in my own recipe book for future brews.

Cheers

Matt

Totally agree with you, brewed this also from Normans receipe and reduced a litre of the wort but used wyeast 1098 .really good pint .

This recipe is sbstantially improved by the use of BREWLABS Yorkshire Ale 2 yeast.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to produce an extract version of this recipe and if so, if I could convert it using the free trial of Beersmith?
