100% Satisfaction

[Vossy1]

Just stumbled across this post and it seems to have caused some confusion

100% satisfaction is a recipe I quoted from Marc Ollosson's book Real Ales for the home brewer

I don't know who originated the recipe, but I'm sure it was around in various forms, being so simple, for many years.

It's a great tasting brew and so very simple, can't we just enjot it

Had to re-read the practice what you preach line again reminds me of 'Is my enemies enemy, my enemy or just a variant on an orginal recipe'

Never thought you were talking the brown SD, i thought you would have some documentary evidence before weighing in, was just having a chuckle

Anyhoo im away now to make a batch of 'Carolines Best Bitter' found the recipe on a scrap of paper in a hedge written in wheelers hand, judging by the paper used C1988 i'd say

What sort of yeast have you all used with this as I have a safale 004 and a west yorkhire yeast salvaged off the last TTL.

Hi Bandit,

I've used Gervin and S04 and I prefer the S04 as it imparts a slight pepperyness to my pallate IMO, something that I like in a pale ale

Both are great yeasts

I'm thinking of brewing this and was after a brief description of the profile of the beer.Is it a golden type, such as summer lightning.

With my AG brews so far,i have been a little disappointed by the lack of flavour/not the flavour i was expecting for the clone recipe.The last brew was a Gales HSB from BYO, it looked a little darker but tasted very similar to the 49'er i brewed before.I seem to be doing everthing right from water treatment through to cornie,minus FV temp control,but seeing as advice on this problem may well lie in adding extra hops,was thinking with starting with this recipe to see the difference between Gw's recipes which are fine,but seem to lack a little flavour,and a recipe that calls for a lot more hops.

If tweaking GW's recipes,adding extra hops,would you start with 10g more for each hop addition ,and add post boil hops if none are required.

I know the next stage would be to use beer software,but i need to get a grasp of the different tastes from different quantities of hops used with different malts.

Single malt single hop brews seem the way to go,is there a way round brewing a smaller sample batch,rather than ending up with 19L of experiment you may not like.

Cheers for any advice

Graham.
