AG#20 Bitter Bitter

Posted by Graeme Coates in homebrew, recipes

No – not a typo but Ollorson’s recipe called “Bitter Bitter” which I brewed yesterday. All Challenger hops in this one and using Nottingham to ferment with. The usual water treatment (CRS, 2 tsp Gypsum, a smidge of CaCl2 and a tsp of NaCl) and then the following recipe:

3.86kg Pale malt
230g Crystal
455g Wheat Malt

Mash 2.5+ hours (was hanging a gate in the garden…) at 66C or so.

Challenger 7.1% 50g – 90min
Challenger 5.5% (but old) 20g – 15min

Turned out with 24L at 1041 (pretty much bang on really) – it’s sitting in the fermenter but no apparent action as yet – though Nottingham can take a time to kick off I seem to remember – it’s been a while since I used it last.
