Cain's Bitter advice needed

[Asalpaws]

Hi all, I was in Liverpool Airport the other week and had a pint of Cain's best bitter. I was really impressed. Nice toffee and plum malt flavours but with a really long, bitter finish. Sadly I then had to get on a R&@?n air flight...

Anyway I've been trying to find a recipe but the only thing I could find was Target for Bittering and Goldings as late hop (I couldn't get any late hop taste/aroma on drinking).

I've never tried a clone but I've come up with this :

Grain Bill

I thought there should be some special B for a fruity touch.


Hops

Will use WY British Ale 2, as I have a load saved from a previous brew. Any advice or other recipes would be much appreciated, Cheers T

give the company an email and ask if they have any advice on percentages for malts, and ibu's for hops. they are often happy to comply if you mention you're just a hobbyist.

interestingly it's available at bargain booze, hahah! http://www.bargainbooze.co.uk/products/ ... index.html

good luck :thumb:
