english bitter

First time with a wet pack. Easy to make easy instructions, great tasting beer

One week to ferment at 22deg, kegged and drank three weeks later, will do again.

Fun kit

Pack included hopped liquid malt, grain, aroma hops and a Safale yeast. I followed the included instructions for the one hour boil, and used WLP-051 (Cal 5) yeast. Temps were a little high at 23-24 C. Gravities were 1041 to 1008. This tasted pretty good after 6 days in the keg, and hit its straps at 2 weeks (didn't last much longer). This was great fun to make and a nice flavoursome end result. Cooling the wort was a pain; I'll have water in the fridge ready for the next one.

Ye Olde English Bitter

Followed TCB instructions but used a White Labs Klassic Ale yeast(platinum series WLP033) in a starter.Fermented at 22 degrees for 6 days then racked to glass for 3 months.Very much like a trad bitter of the motherland.Kept the temp and carbonation low in the keg to keep with the style. Lots of malt and mouthfeel with hints of diacetyl and a roasty caramel aftertaste.Will use some oak chips in the next batch to help bring in some traditional cask taste.Cheers.
