Hi guys,
Can you help me with a recipe I'm making? I'd really like to make a typical southern english Best bitter. The main things I want to get from it are:
Crisp, clean taste.
Easy to drink
A little on the hoppy side, but 'fruity' hop taste instead of just lots of bitterness
good clarity.
So I want to try and keep it simple - I'd like to show off the properties of a couple of ingredients and keep the grain bill as simple as possible.
Here's what I've come up with:
Batch size: 23l
Style: 8B. Special/Best/Premium Bitter (Best Bitter)
Type: All Grain
Estimated OG: 1.046
Estimated FG: 1.011
Estimated ABV: 4.59%
Estimated Efficiency: 75%
IBUs: 35.7
Grain:
4000g Maris Otter Pale Malt
450g Crystal 80l
50g Crystal 120l
Hops:
75g Fuggles 3.8%AA @ 60min
25g Fuggles 3.8%AA @ 15min
1 protofloc tablet @ 15min
Primary for 1 week
Bottle & Keg for 1 month
What do you reckon?
