Ordinary Bitter

[Rook]

G'day Chaps,

I'm thinking of doing an Ordinary bitter with an O.G 0f 1.037

What sort of Hop schedule should i use if using Fuggles/E.K Goldings in a 27 litre batch, i believe the BU/GU should be around .8

I tried doing a search but either i'm doing something wrong or it isn't a very good search engine

Here's a few recipes using Fuggles and Goldings I've dug out, I have't tried either but they come from a very respected book plus you can't go far wrong with a Fuggle/Golding combination. Also adding Challenger as the bittering hop goes well with them in an English bitter.
