Special Bitter (8B)

September 14th, 2009

Very small changes to Jamil’s recipe from Brewing Classic Styles.    A flavorful yet refreshing session beer.  It has a balanced but firm bitterness, low hop character and a touch of fermentation character from the yeast.  Easy drinking and highly quaffable.

0.5 lbs Aromatic
0.5 lbs Crystal 120
0.25 lbs Special Roast
   
  Single Infusion Mash @ 152F – 75% Efficiency

Hops:

0.9 oz Northern Brewer 6.5% AA 60 min
0.4 oz Northern Brewer 6.5% AA 20 min
0.4 oz Northern Brewer 6.5% AA 1 min

Yeast:

Safale S-04

Yield:

5.5 Gallons

    We had a party on Saturday with several beers on tap and this was the first keg to kick. I think people were surprised how “lite” and good beer can be.
