Notes

My attempt at a clone of the delicious Brewer's Gold beer by Crouch Vale Brewery. The info i've found online suggests it might be a SMASH recipe just using pale malt and Brewer's Gold hops but I decided to tweek it a little. I've added a little bit of crystal for colour and head and I've used Admiral as a bittering hop. I wouldn't have used the Admiral but I could only get 4% AA hops which is much lower than normal for Brewer's Gold and I didn't want to waste them early in the boil.
