Notes: Jamil Zainasheff raves about this beer which is Matt's fave too.
Dave Line p93 but he puts all 90ghops in at start of boil giving IBU of over 40.
Hence Ive moved over half the hops to flame out

From the Malt Miller kit (£17 plus £6 carriage without yeast);
-This recipe Does Not Include Yeast-

Sussex Best is the most famous beer of this old English brewery, a superbly balanced bitter with prominent hop character. The brew evolved over decades, satisfying the expectations of the people of Sussex and its adjoining counties. Finest Maris Otter malted barley is supplemented with a dash of Crystal malt for balance. Their hops are a blend of four different local whole varieties, to give a distinctive traditional hoppy finish.

But Harveys website says;
Finest Maris Otter malted barley is supplemented with a dash of Crystal malt for balance. Our hops are a blend of four different local varieties, to give a distinctive hoppy finish.The malt miller version looks closer to this ..do this as a separate recipe on brewers friend Millers Sussex Best...

The yeast..
the Malt Miller recipe is for highish attenuation yeast (havnt calculated it exactly) UK based Brewlabs do a yeast slope of Harveys!!!

Ive put in low attenuation yeast Windsor
(doing different mash temps doesn't seem to affect efficiency/ABV in the software??
? plan to mash low at 65 if using a low attenuating yeast in contrast to Malt Miller recipe which mashes at 68.
(Another tack would be to mash high and use verdant)

*** 8% (6 gravity pts) extract boost due to decoction?***

Single decoction:

Dough in for protein rest x 10 min, then ramp up to 152.

After 30 min at 152, pull 1/3 thick mash (8-10 qt?), heat to boil x 30 min while stirring, then add back to mash kettle. Reset to 170F for mash out x 10 min

FWH while draining basket

*** cold sparge 0.3 gal to hit preboil volume ***

Remove boil hop bags at flame out.

Wait 10 min, then add flame out hops in a bag, steep x 20 min then rapidly chill to 60-65F.

Drain wort into FV and then attach to FTC - chill to 48F (HEPA filter in blow off stopper)

Pitch at 48F and allow to free rise to 50F. Ferment at 50F x 7 days, then raise to 55F x 3 days, then raise to 60F x 2 days. Check gravity on day 13 & and 15, and if stable, cold crash and package as per usual.

Notes: Added Irish Moss at 15m.

Thermometer broke during wort chilling. Yeast wasn't hydrated and pitched 2.5 hours after boil. Didnt know exact temperature - probably 19-22 C.

Active fermentation 12-24 hours after pitching!

Dry hop 2.5 oz. of Cascade whole leaf hops for 8 days.

3/4 cup of corn sugar with 2 cups boiling water. Bottled on March 10, 2014. I guess the whole hope leafs absorbed a lot of the beer because I only had enough for 30 bottles, not the 40-46 I had planned for. Might not dry hop again if the aroma isn't worth it. Will find out during tasting. :)

First taste on March 23: tastes amazing, blew my expectations away! Surprisingly similar to Muskoka Mad Tom. They have the same specs though. The dry hopping of cascade really came through on the nose. Very fruity and citrusy nose. A very sweet and malty taste. Good carbonation. Maybe I am biased...

Side-by-side comparison with Mad Tom: Colour: MT is a lot lighter and clearer. Mine is relatively hazy. Head retention and size is pretty similar for both. Smell: MT has a more pungent hoppy nose. Mine is slightly more fruity. Taste: MT definitely has more punch to it - sharp hop taste. Mine is sweeter and laid-back. MT had distinct citrus notes. Grapefruit. Mine tastes more of darker fruits. Mouthfeel: MT is crisp with greater carbonation. Mine is smooth with delicate/light carbonation. Overall, it's hard to pick a winner in my biased opinion. I think MT nudges mine slightly. Think of slight changes to the recipe next time. Maybe not so dark colour with greater fruit emphasis on the nose and in the mouth.
