Day off work today and to commemorate my 10th AG, doing something a bit special which will hopefully be ready for Christmas.
The original recipe is here : http://www.durdenparkbeer.org.uk/Recipe ... 9s_Bitter_
I don't have a malt mill so home roasting the Pale Amber was a non-starter. I've subbed it with a 50/50 mix of Belgian Diastatic Amber (smells lovely) and Munich Malt.
Only one packet of fuggles so making up the last 10g of bitterness editions with EKG.
Here's what Beersmith says (Efficiency adjusted to give the right OG although probably about right for a beer of this strength.
