I'm looking to make an English style bitter using DME and speciality grains. I'd like to use a single hop because I want to get an idea of individual hop flavour - but if that's really not recommended, I can combine hops.
I'm quite limited in my choice of ingredients in Japan.
- I can get Fuggles (5.0%), Northern Brewer (7.5%), and Goldings (5.4%) leaf.
- My DME will be Mnton's Spraymalt - so I need to know whether to use extra light, light, medium, dark, or wheat.
- Grains (can't get a lot of British crystal):
Northwest C15, C40, C60, C75, C150
Weyermann Carared 15.6-19.3 lovibond
Muntons Crystal 42-49 lovibond
Muntons Chocolate (432), Black (550-600), Roast Barley (670), Japanese Roast Malt (394)
Flaked oat, rice, rye
Flavours I like (not limited to English bitters) are Spitfire, Bishops Finger, Fiddler's Elbow, Red Hook ESB.
Any suggestions of beers that have come out well? Or ideas of things you would recommend trying from those ingredients?
