I had a great English Golden Ale this weekend at a local brewery. It was wonderfully drinkable and entirely British. Details on the malts and hops weren't available, but it was light gold, clear, slightly biscuity, and had some late hops.
I know very little about this style. I looked into a few recipes, looked into the ingredients my LHBS shop has, and came up with this recipe as a starting point. Anyone that knows the style have any input on how this fits?
6 gallon batch
6 lbs Maris Otter
2 lbs Golden Promise
0.5 lbs Torrified Wheat
0.5 lbs Flaked Corn
1 oz Brewers Gold @ 60 min
1 oz Styrian Goldings @ 1 min
1 oz EKG @ 1 min
1 package WY 1028
OG = 1.045
IBU = 30
SRM = 4
I've seen discussion that many of these beers in Britain use American hops. Thats not what I'm going for with this one.
Thanks for your thoughts.
