St Peter's Best Bitter?

[Uncle Joshua]

Has anyone got a recipe for a beer in the style of St Peter's Best Bitter? I have 40+ St Peter's bottles that I wouldn't mind filling with something close to what came in them.

Ta.

Got a bit more info on this beer...its brewed with e and Crystal malts with Goldings for aroma.

At 3.7% ABV this is a traditional Best Bitter brewed with Pale and Crystal malts and Goldings aroma hops. The result is a full-bodied ale with distinctive fruity caramel notes.

If anyone has any idea on amounts and other hops please share.

I don't know anything about the recipe make up, but have you tried pinging an e-mail to St. Peters? Some brewerys are happy to discuss such things (some aren't of course!). Nothing to lose I'd say.

I tried asking St Peters for info on the Cream Stout or Golden Ale a while back. No joy. This is what I got back:

Dear -----

Thank you very much for your email and we are delighted that you enjoy our beers. I am afraid due to the confidential nature of our recipes we are unable to give you the information you have requested. I am sorry we cannot help you and hope this won’t stop you enjoying our beers.

Kind regards

Epic fail there, Harriett. Most good breweries are happy to help with recipes.

Yeah, what balls. Cf. Wychwood getting on the Can You Brew It? podcast and giving out the entire Hobgoblin recipe, including fermentation regime. Poor show by St Peter's.
