Strictly speaking, this is actually an English bitter beer.
There are several versions of this beer, but the one Xi drank was the pub version of Cask Ale, which has a relatively low alcohol content, a medium-low sandy mouthfeel, and excellent balance.


I've summarized what a wide range of my colleagues are saying about this wine:
Styles: Cask Ale, English Bitter, English IPA
Appearance: golden brown to amber in color, extremely clear, persistent creamy foam
Flavor: herbal aroma, floral, caramel flavor, malt flavor is not noticeable. Aftertaste: slightly sweet and bitter, caramel, grassy, with a hint of oak in the aftertaste of the cask version.
Body: medium, not too sandy mouthfeel.
Taste: moderately bitter, slightly sweet.
Overall: well balanced, excellent drinkability, low alcohol, light overall flavor, not the familiar IPA style.

Welcome to study and exchange together
Process

Malt List: Pale Ale Malt
: 2.1 kg
Crystal Malt/Caramel Malt: 60L/150EBC 600g
Caramel Amber Malt: 20L 300g

Hops:
Considering the ease of availability, hops suggest the use of Golding.
Golding 5.4% 25 grams 60 minutes Boil
Golding 5.4% 25 grams 10 minutes Boil
Golidng 5.4% 25 grams 5 days dry cast


Sugaring and boiling:
12L of sweetening water, sweetening temperature 67 degrees, sweetening time one hour.
15L 78 degree water wash tank
Obtain 23-24L of wort for boiling
End of boil to get 20-21L of wort

Fermentation:
Considering the fermentation and clarity of this wine, S04 is recommended on the ease of access to the yeast. After 5-7 days after the first fermentation, 20 grams of golding hops were put in, and the second fermentation was bottled after 5 days. The amount of sugar added is recommended to be 5 g/l. After the sugar fermentation the wine reaches an alcohol content of about 3.6. The second fermentation is recommended for 3-5 weeks.

Note:
Bottled versions for export have higher degrees typically around 5 degrees and are easier to clone for homebrews. About liquid filling machine, here is my another introduction post if you need.


This recipe is designed to produce sugar with an efficiency of about 78%.
Sugar yield is about 60-64% 5-7 days after putting in 20 grams of Golding hops
The amount of sugar added is recommended to be 5 grams/liter, and after the sugar fermentation this wine reaches an alcohol level of about 3.6. The second fermentation is recommended for 3-5 weeks.

Hope it can help you. Tell me what you guys think and if it is a good idea i make this thread as a continuously updating posts with more formulas.
 
Is that a machine translation from Chinese or something? "liquor accuracy"? "Terminal weight"? "wine" in reference to an IPA, which is "strictly speaking, an English bitter beer"? "A medium-low SANDY mouthfeel"? "Sugar yield"? I'm guessing "Sugaring" and "Sweetening" are both bad machine translations of saccharification (糖化). The first idea this might be machine translation was "3 weeks到5 weeks" since the machine couldn't figure out the hanzi 到 (which I believe is used in Chinese for "to" when describing a range).

Yeah, I think it's a bad translation rather than AI.
in reference to an IPA, which is "strictly speaking, an English bitter beer"?
That bit at least is correct, Greene King IPA is an anomaly, it's been around since long before the US rediscovered IPA, it is their ordinary bitter.

I've bolded the part that was the focus of my critique.

I'm also guessing that the "English bitter beer" is not them saying "it's the beer style from England known as a bitter" but rather "it's a bitter style of beer from England."
