I'm posting this recipe due to a request in a different thread. Obviously, because it was such a big batch, you'd want to scale down some of the ingredients if you're doing a 5er, but if you keep the proportion right, you've got a winner.
Though I couldn't use all "authentic" ingredients, I used what I had on hand and everything but my pale malt was from Europe. If you actually have Fuggles, Goldings and other noble hops, I'm sure it'll turn out even better for you. Even before fermentation, it had a great taste, like an orangey-honeyish hop and malt tea. During fermentation, it even smells great, though most brewers will admit to that. Still, I have high hopes for this one and will update when it's done.
