First wort hopping is said to give bittering equal to a 20 min addition. Despite being boiled for 60 minutes, the alpha acids are locked in at a certain level. Supposed to give a nice complexity.

Heading to pickup ingredients to brew this one now. I've got S-04 & Notty in the fridge...will likely use dry for ease. Which has been preferred for this recipe?
Brewed this recipe 2/29 and had a solid brew day, fermented with S-04 for 10 days at about 65*(wort temp) and finished it off at 68* before cold crashing for 4 days.
Anyway, I kegged it this afternoon and had a sample. This is one tastes great right out of the primary, can't wait to give it a week on gas!
Thanks Orfy!!
It's early, but I tried one of mine last night. It isn't ready yet, but I taste potential in there.
Brewed to be a match for the Boddington's Cask bitter at it's peak.
Beersmith is suggesting I carbonate with 4oz table sugar to get to 2.3 carb units, which seems like a lot for this style (ordinary bitter). I might go a little lower, around 3 or so for 6 gallons.
Is this the cream ale recipe? Also on the hops schedule, I understand the last two, but the first hops at the start of the boil or before it begins to boil?
So is this recipe for a 5 gallon batch or 6.5 like the OP stated? I'm set-up for 5 gallon batches and want to try the recipe as intended but after reading all 14 pages of the thread i'm getting mixed amounts. Either way going from 8 gallons to 5 or 6.5 gallons seems a bit high of an evaporation rate for a 60min boil. Anyone?
So youre just mashing everything together and not steeping anything correct?
What liquid yeast are people using?
Safale S-04 or S-05 here.

I've tried everything and made my share of starters. I even have a stir plate. I allways go back to dry. Easy to use. Dump in...no mess no fuss....done.

I really like this recipe.Anyone know of an extract recipe that is similar and good? This weather is preventing me from all grain in the garage and would like to do up a batch for my new nitro setup.
If you're brewing the extract version of this, how do you handle the FWH? Throw them in at the steep? Or do they just become a 60 m boil?
