It was a very early AG beer I made, can't remember how the recipe came about, but it was good and mates really liked it. Dextrose has the effect of reducing the body, which can be a good thing. Nor everyone likes Bobek, but I like it a lot
 
Weirdly it has Munich in it, which increases the body! But it worked, it was a lovely beer. By all means replace the dextrose with enough grain to get the OG you want.
 
This sounds good. I'm going to go for this hop schedule next up!

Cheers, Clibit :thumb:
 
I brewed this at the beginning of lockdown as I had Bobek lying about from my Bitter & Twisted clone.
Must say that the Bobek flavour is not for me. Nothing wrong with the beer, just not to my taste.

Funnily, I bought a couple of bottles of Bitter & Twisted to compare with my effort, (not too far away since you ask clapa ) and could really taste the Bobek. Never noticed before, so the experiment was worth something I suppose
