I'm looking to back to basics this weekend for two batches. What I mean is, I'm going for less is more. Less grain complexity, only one or two hop varieties. I need to craft the two with ingredients I have on hand.
For this topic, I want to do a simple English Ordinary Bitter.
Grains:
Unfortunately, I only have Breise 2-row as base grain but I'll deal with it.
Adjucts available are Crystal 20/40/80, Victory, Carapils, Munich, Vienna.
Hops:
Tettnanger, Hallertau, Cascade, Warrior, Fuggles. Ok, so Fuggles is really the only Brit hop I have. I see it's listed as dual purpose. Any problem using it throughout?
I'm planning to use Nottingham dry yeast because I have a ton of it.
My second batch is going to be an APA with mostly warrior hops but I'm comfortable crafting that one myself.. Thanks for any help you offer.
