Old Best Bitter Recipe

Post by alwilson » Tue Mar 27, 2012 3:17 pm

Hi guys,

I'm looking for an 'old' best bitter recipe, like 1800-1900 to complete my collection of 'old' recipes that im doing for a party.

Does anyone have one, with a date attached to it?

The durden park one isnt of any use as I dont have the ability to roast my own malt to get pale amber...

So does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers
Alex

Sorry can't help you with a recipe but I found this online, apparently Carapils 25EBC can be substituted for Pale Amber Malt provided it makes up less than 45% of the grist.

I would have thought any of the the pale ale recipes on the Durden Park site would count as a best bitter though and only one of them uses Pale Amber.

I'm interested in old recipes, which other beeers are you brewing?

Look no further than at Ron Pattinson site barclayperkins.blogspot.com. I doubt you'd find best bitter recipe that old, but something xix century for sure.
