RE: ENGLISH BITTER RECIPE REVEIW
Hi johnny,
After reviewing your recipe, I think what I would do is to replace the 12 lbs. American 2-row with some English 2 row.
Also, typically and keeping true to style, I would use Challenger and East Kent Goldings, or any other English hop available. Fuggles maybe?
Not sure how big this batch is (10 gallons??) but I think I would back off a bit with the Flaked Oats.
The yeast you selected is fine, but personally, I think I would try the Wyeast ESB yeast for this batch. I always have had great results with this yeast.
Hope this helps!

Grain Bill - Delete the chocolate, roast barley. Replace the american 2-row with Marris Otter or Golden Promise.
Hops - Replace the american hops with East Kent Goldings (Bittering & Flavor) and maybe a little Styrian Goldings for aroma.
Yeast - Wyeast London ESB
Recipe looks more like an hopped up "Oatmeal" Mild on steroids as is. Thats a lot of oats, I only used 1 Lb in a Oatmeal Stout (6gal) this weekend.
