looking for a recipe along the lines of sarah hughes mild, something strong to keep in bottles, wondered would challenger hops be ok in this? are they good late in boil?

[Kyle_T]

How strong is strong for you? I have done 4.2 in a bottle and its lasted fine.

[far9410]

yeah I'm just thinking that as summer approaches Ill be mostly brewing pale ales, just wanted something a bit darker to keep for later, prob about 5.5 to 6.0 abv

[Kyle_T]

Personally for me, that much crystal is too much on Sarah Huges, I would go with something like 6kg grist, 87% Mild Malt, 10% Crystal, 3% Chocolate, 24 IBU 90 min addition and a dry hop.

[far9410]

Yeah I tend to agree, not gonna buy mild malt at the mo, so what would you suggest with maris?

[Kyle_T]

Exactly the same

I did the GW Sarah Hughes ruby mild:

5100g MO
900g crystal
33g Fuggles 90 min
20g Goldings 90 min
19g Fuggles 10 min

WY1318

34 IBU
OG 1058
FG 1015


Note that the amount of hops was adjusted to the AA% of the ones I had.

I brewed your 1914 Ruby Mild, Kyle_T, recently. Fabulous.

I had a pint of Milestone Sherwood Ruby Mild in a W..Spn last week and I thought this tastes exactly the same as my mild. What do you think of that?

That's always good to hear

Which version of the recipe was it may I ask?

My version of course.

I stumbled across your recipe on this forum dated I think somewhere back in 2012. I would attach my Beersmith recipe but .bsmx and .html files are not allowed so I don't know how to easily show you.

The easiest way would probably be a print screen, they chop it in paint. Then upload.

I don't know if I actually uploaded any recipes here, I'm gonna go check lol

There has to be an easier way of sharing recipes. See if this works for you.

That's a little bit different haha. I might have to dig out the original recipe and brew it again.

first taste from fv is pretty good, not a ruby mild, more a heavy bitter
