I used the cheap stuff.... Safale-04 maybe (dont remmeber) and it came out GREAT!
Anyway, I'm looking at brewing a partial mash version of this, and since I did the math anyway, here's the recipe in "English" units :
7.25 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter
.55 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine
.264 lb Crystal Malt 60L
1 oz Chocolate Malt
Hopping schedule:
1oz Northern Brewer, First Wort Hops
1oz EKG (45 minutes)
1oz EKG (0 minutes AKA flameout)
Feel free to round off at your convenience .
Any advice out there on which malt extract to use to replace the Maris Otter?
I would just replace MO with 6 lbs. llight DME for extract version. Steep all other grains as the same weight. Same hop schedule. FWIW, I just replace the base of any AG with 6 lbs DME . Unless the specialty grains must be mashed, keep them the same -- hops, too. If you are looking for a more in-depth recipe, time for AG!
2. Does Boddingtons count as an ordinary bitter or a special bitter?
In my own opinion, the smooth mouth feel and creamy head puts the original boddingtons into a sub-category of it's own. I would call it an unusual ordinary bitter, if that makes any sense!
4.5 lbs of dry or 5.5 lbs of LME You could also use
MARIS OTTER EXTRACT 6 LBS @ Williams Brewing
for a little more authentic taste. If you do a partial boil I would use the same hops and add the majority of the extract in the last 15 minutes of the boil to keep the utilization the same.
I disagree with the post you quoted saying you have to go AG for more in depth. Proper recipe formation is independent of the type of brewing and this recipe can definitely be properly formulated with steeping grains and extract.
Yes, probably. You could skip or cut down on the aroma-steep hop addition to avoid some of the hop flavors. That way all you have are bittering hops.Hey guys, can anyone tell me how "hoppy" this comes out? I know the modern-day Boddington's isn't very hoppy at all, but I've never tried the original one. Would a girl who hates hop flavor but usually enjoys bitters and ESBs enjoy this one?

IMHO this recipe is better than the newer version, at least the import I have tasted here in cans. Orfy's is hoppier and has a better mouth feel and aroma. I'm brewing another batch this weekend, by popular demand.
...used 2 oz Burton water salts and Tbs 5.2.
