Good afternoon!
Hogs Back T.E.A is one of my favorite ales. Unfortunately, it is not available where I live and travelling to England is not an option at the moment. So I am thinking about trying my hand at brewing a T.E.A. clone.
Can you tell me if there is a tried and tested clone recipe out there? I have found less than a handful of recipes online, but no account of actual brews and information about the outcome. The recipes I found are:
Normans Real Ale Almanac:
25 litre batch OG 1044 ABV 4.2%
PIPKIN PALE MALT 4303 gms
CRYSTAL MALT 349 gms
HOPS boil time 90 minutes
FUGGLES 35 gms
GOLDINGS 33 gms
Add 10 gms Goldings last 15 minutes.
Yeast of your choice
Grainfather Community:
23 litre batch OG 1.042 ABV 4.11%
MARRIS OTTER MALT 4300 gms
CARAMEL/Crystal MALT 30L 500gms
HOPS boil time 60 Minutes
FUGGLES 45 gms.
Add another 45gms Fuggles last 10 Minutes.
Yeast: Wyeast London ESB Ale 1968
Homebrewtalk Forum:
5.5 gallon batch OG 1.043 ABV 4.2%
9 lbs Maris Otter
0.75 lbs Crystal 60
1 oz Fuggles @ 60
1 oz Goldings @ 60
0.5 oz Goldings @ 10
Yeast: Wyeast London ESB Ale 1968
As you can see, all these recipes are rather similar to each other. The Hogs Back Brewery homepage states that they used Goldings in an earlier version of T.E.A. but have since changed the recipe to all Fuggles.
Has anyone had any success in brewing a good clone of the stuff and is willing to share the secret?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much!
