Bitter in one week

I've just tasted a sample of the bitter I brewed last Friday. It's clear and in the keg. I racked it a tad early so I could build up some natural CO2. It's very tasty and very English tasting. I use PSI meters on the kegs that show how much pressure is being created. It's interesting because when you cool it down, the PSI drops as the CO2 goes into solution. I'll take some pictures and maybe a video when I serve it Saturday.

What recipe did you use?
There was an article in BYO about beer in a week, did you use those by chance?

Here it is. I think it's delicious right now. It's not as dark as you'd think. About the colour of Landlord.
