EPA - Essex Pale Ale

[Monkeybrew]

This coming Saturday is going to be my first proper (non-biab) AG brewday and I was going to brew GW's Black Sheep Ale recipe, but as it has taken me longer to get sorted than I had expected, I am now thinking that this isn't what I want to be drinking in spring/early summer!

I have come up with this recipe instead, slightly modifying the true abbreviation ...............

Normans recipe for the Ridleys Rumpus, a true Essex ale no longer with us is very close to the real thing, especially if you can get the old Ridleys yeast, Whitelabs do it as a seasonal yeast or brewlabs will knock you up a version. Where in Essex are you.

Hi Dennis, I'm from Colchester.

I'm not really trying to emulate a particular Essex style of ale with this recipe, just thought it would be fun to name it after our County

Cheers
