So who's brewing this weekend?

[Cheshire Cat]

Brewing up a British Golden Saturday morning with Mosaic and Citra hops.

What makes it British?
Also we don’t have Golden Saturday Mornings this time of year.

The British malts and yeast. It's for sending to competitions and here in the US, the BJCP style guidelines rule and US citrusy malts are more common these days, per the style guidelines.

Doing a Baltic Porter this Sunday morning. Love this recipe so much, I'm keeping it on a tap year around.

Surely BJCP guidelines for a British beer don’t allow non British hops? Is it just about ABV, IBU’s and SRM’s if so you could make an amber lager and call it Best Bitter.
So my recipe for Best would be
90% Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt
5% CaraMunich 2
5% Special B
Centennial and Cascade hops
US05 yeast.

Seems to be trend, juicy bitters? Sounds kind of interesting, I might give a bitter with Citra and Mosaic a shot and try it on the engine.
