Moreland "Old Golden Hen" Clone

[Pinto]

Need a clone recipe for the above - dispatch agent Seymour !

[Monkeybrew]

I'm fairly sure there's some Galaxy in there.

Bloody good on draught

Yep, you did, as far as I know:

Morland Old Golden Hen (English Blonde Ale)
Greene King/Morland & Co, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK
OG: 1041
ABV: 4.1%
IBU: 33-37
Colour: clear golden
Grainbill: 100% Pale? Perhaps a blend of English Pale Malt and English lager malt
Hops: Challenger (90 min), Galaxy (15 min and flame-out, steep while cooling), Galaxy dry hops in fermentor
Yeast: historic Morland's English ale strain, Hen's Tooth bottles contain primary strain

[Pinto]

Certainly galaxy in there - my total favourite hop

Sat down last night and dispatched 6 bottles of the stuff with ease - so im thinking the only thing better is to have a 25l keg of the stuff sitting beside me

[Uncle Joshua]

Drinking a bottle of this right now. I'd love a clone.

Not sure which direction to go with the yeast - I have S-04, Notty and Windsor available from the brew cupboard; gut instinct says that the windsor "fruity" profile would go nicely with the galaxy, but Notty would leave a cleaner, dryer profile - along the lines that I get from the commercial stuff....of course, I could always split into 2 x 15l fermenters....

Hops : enough or too much ?

[Patterd Ale]

I would say more hops, especially later. As for yeast, perhaps Windsor and Nottingham, ala Seymour's suggestion?

[fego]

The draft version always tastes like its got some elderflower in it to me although I'm pretty sure it won't have...

'tips a nice pint though so I'll be interested in the results of a clone attempt.

Obtaining the moorlands yeast is the difficult part (i've looked into hens tooth, only place I can find it is from morelands direct and they want £30 for 12 bottle of the stuff plus postage )

Ive seen recommendation for WLP002 too

The Greene King Brewery in Bury St Edmund's also has it. Sadly they're looking for £36.60 delivered.

Evening All,

Any news on cloned attempts of this brew please ?

Cheers

There's been no Morlands brewing in Abingdon for well over 10 years now. It's just a GK brand name now, brewed in Bury St Edmunds I think.
