I guess seymourillo is a Seymour recipe? I have Seymour's Cross ready to go into secondary fermentation...Bramling Cross.

Cool, is there a link to the recipe/brew day?

OP
Nice looking beer that, be good to see a photo of the beer when it's ready...

Here you go. This is a single-hop recipe, but of course you can play around with substitutions.

Cheers!

Hi!

Many thanks!

Actually looks quite close to the recipe I planned to use for my BX, although mine is lower gravity and minus the sugar...


Cheers!

That's cool. Yeah, it's nothing too unique, but a tasty and flexible baseline for sure.
