Notes

Treat water with the MSB before brewing to remove chlorine/chloramine. 0.5g per 25L

Make a 2L yeast starter a few days in advance and cold crash before brew day

Decoction mash is optional

For the decoction mash remove a large pan (approx 4kg) of grain and being to the boil then return during the heating cycle between steps

Pitch the yeast at 8-9C and ferment at 9-10C for 10-14 days or until the fermentation slows to almost nothing

Make sure you do a diacetyl rest for 3-4 days at 18c to clean up the flavours

Cool down to 10 to add gelatine

Cold crash a 0C for 7-10 days then transfer to keg

Leave it for at least 2 weeks to carbonate and smooth out before drinking.

Brewed with wyeast 2308 or White labs WLP860. Make sure you do a starter and give it a real boost of yeast to get a quick and clean fermentation.

Blind taste tests 3 out of 4 preferred this to real Camden hells and only 1 picked out the original as their preferred beer. You can tell a slight difference but it’s marginal and most people actually prefer this beer I’ve just tweeked the hops a little over time to get it even nicer.

Give it a try

Blind taste test against real Camden hells. Almost impossible to tell them apart
