Hey guys/gals,
So I have been brewing for a few years now, but haven't brewed in almost 2 years due to school, etc. And because I haven't been on homebrewtalk.com for a long while, I had to make a new account. Anyways, I have been drinking some great Bitter-style beer here in SF recently, and it inspired me to brew my own. I fooled around with some numbers and am looking to brew in the BJCP style 8b category. Any suggestion would be fantastic!
Bitter Ale - all-grain, 70% efficiency
Pale 2-row (English) - 8 lbs
Carastan Malt (English) - .75 lbs
Carapils - 0.25 lbs
Goldings (~4.75 AA) - 1 oz @ 60
Fuggle (~5 AA) - 1 oz @ 30
Yeast: maybe Safale-04, however am looking for a drier style beer (FG ~ 1.009)
Mash in @ 1 qt/lb single-infusion mash for 90 min to ~ 149 F, boil for 60 min.
I am looking for a bitter beer with no real discernible hop aroma, and quite dry. In proMash, this recipe gives a SG around 1.043 and IBUs ~ 32. Please let me know what you think, thanks!!
