Notes: STEP BY STEP

Mill the grains and mix with 6 gallons (23 L) of 165 °F (74 °C) strike water to reach a mash temperature of 152 °F (67 °C). Hold this temperature for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until your runnings are clear. Sparge the grains with enough water to collect 7 gallons (26.5 L) of wort, add lactose and stir to dissolve. At this point, check the gravity of the wort in the kettle. With that volume, the SG should be 1.073. Add sugar or dried malt extract if your gravity is too low (I had to add 1 cup corn sugar to hit target SG). Boil for 120 minutes, adding hops according to the ingredient list.

After the boil, turn off heat and chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 65 °F (18 °C). Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch yeast.

Ferment at 66 °F (19 °C) for 10 days, then raise the temperature to 70 °F (21 °C) for 3-4 days. Upon completion of fermentation (check your gravity being such a "big" beer this may take longer than expected), crash the beer to 35 °F (2 °C) for 48 hours, and bottle or keg the beer and carbonate to approximately 2.25 volumes.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS:

Imprint Brewer and Co-Founder Ryan Diehl notes that in the interest of palate "mellowness," you should target about 200 ppm of chloride, adjusting as necessary with calcium chloride. Between the water chemistry and the use of lactose, this recipe allows for a chocolate-forward expression without being overly roasty. Ryan also says that this recipe sells well on its own, but also serves as a fantastic base for their coconut porter (pictured), maple porter, and coffee porters. If pursuing those options, he advises leaving out the lactose.

Notes: 4 liter starter. Decant the day of brewing and make a 500 mL starter just to wake the yeast up and dump it all into the fermenter.

Let it sit on the yeast cake for about three weeks before cold crashing for 5 days with gelatin.

Transfer to secondary after the cold crash and add whiskey soaked barrel chips or #3 char oak spirals.

Give it a taste after a couple of weeks and if it's good proceed to bottling with a pinch of CBC yeast in each bottle. Do not try to add the yeast into the bottling bucket, it does not typically make it into the bottles when you do that.

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.

Ingredients

Crisp Extra Pale Maris Otter
Crisp Dark Crystal Malt
Crisp Flaked Maize

Total grain bill without husks 3976g

Oat Husks (500 grams)
Progress T90 Pellets (26 grams)
Bramling Cross Pellets (26 grams)
Fuggles Pellets (15 grams)
East Kent Goldings ( GOLDINGS ) Pellets (15 grams)

Method

Beer Style (main): British Ales
Beer Style (sub): Special Bitter or Best Bitter
Batch Size: 23
Original Gravity: 1.040
Final Gravity: 1.008
ABV %: 4.0
IBU: 35

THE MASH
Temperature °C: 68
Length (mins): 60
Out temp °C: 77
Out time (mins): 10

THE BOIL
Boil time (mins): 90

Additions and timing:

26 g, Progress, ≈6.3% AA, 60 minutes
26 g, Bramling Cross, ≈6.5% AA, 30 minutes
15 g, Fuggles, ≈5% AA, at flame-out, steep until cooled
15 g, Goldings, ≈5% AA, at flame-out, steep until cooled

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)
