british/american biter hybrid

Thu Jan 04, 2007 9:15 am

I'm thinking of throwing together a bitter recipe. On the heels of my last brew "jamils ordinary bitter", i was wondering how this would work out.


7.0 lbs Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt
0.5 lbs Crystal Malt 90L
0.25 lbs special roast
.25oz g magnum (60 min)
0.25 oz pearle (30 min)
1 oz Cascade (1 min)
1 oz Cascade (dry hop)
wlp001 yeast

basically it is jamils grain bill with a snpa like (toned down of course to compliment the style) hop schedule

any opinions???
would the magnum overpower everything?

I'm alive and well. Where am I?

Sounds like an American Amber to me, and a tasty one at that.

I've been using British pale malts for my APAs and IPAs and love them, but they are a little darker and richer than the north american varieties. Makes for sometimes disappointing contest results for tasty beers.
