Hi, I'm in the process of perfecting my own recipe session bitter and I am looking for something to give a bit of depth to my beer. My current recipe is as follows:
7 lbs Maris Otter
.5 lbs Biscuit
.5 lbs crystal 60
1 oz kent goldings (60)
1 oz fuggle (20)
1 oz citra (7)
1 oz citra dry hop
I love this ale. It usually works out to around 3.8%. This beer is almost perfect, but it needs some deeper flavors to balance the hops I think. I tried adding Crystal 90 in place of the 60, and I didn't notice much improvement. Next time, I'd like to add something else for depth, sweetness/body and maybe mash at 154. (I usually mash at 152)
Ideas?
