Notes

Mill the grains and mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. If whirlpooling: After the boil, stir to create a vortex, allow the wort to cool to 180°F (82°C), add whirlpool hops, and steep for 10 minutes. Chill the wort to about 65°F (18°C), aerate well, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 65°F (18°C) for 3 days, then allow the temperature to rise to 68°F (20°C) and hold there 4 more days. Transfer to sanitized service vessel (cask or keg) and add the dry hops. After 3 days, add the finings. Conditioned at cellar temperature (52–57°F/11–14°C) for 2 weeks then cold crashed and attached to CO2 in a kegerator.

First made 1/21/23. Achieved 84% efficiency! Added 0.5 lb of corn as a substitute for 0.5 lb marris otter. Also used pub yeast vs. the recipes version.

Whirlpool hops at 160 for 20 mins as chilled too much. Gravity was 1015 after 3 days when started raising temp from 65 to 66.

Delicious beer! Wonderful smooth, malty flavor - a classic English bitter. Recommend making again.

Light brown to golden in color. Nose is pure English hops. Palate is perfect balance of bitterness and malt character. Very sessionable.
