This hobby is something.....
I'm drinking a beer that I brew that I really really enjoy. I've always called it an Ordinary Bitter. I've recently re-visited the Ray Daniels book "Designing Great Beers" and have discovered that what I'm drinking might not be an Ordinary Bitter at all.
So the delima is... do I continue brewing this beer that I absolutely love, or do I change the recipe to comply with the style? I can't tell you what style this beer is if it isn't an Ordinary Bitter. All I can tell you is that I, and everyone who has tried it - over 20 people - have absolutely loved it... so much so that I brew this twice as much as I brew any other beer. I try to keep this one on tap.
This is perplexing... I genuinely want to be a beer snob. What to do... WHAT!!!! to do???
If Odell can brew a light scotch ale and call it '90 schilling', which is a wee heavy, I see no reason you can do the same.
Still trying to kill this keg of peppercorn saison
