Adnams Bitter Clone
Ordinary Bitter • All Grain • 5 gal
Drank some bitter in my days in England. Adnams was the local brewery. Looking forward to trying this one. The recipe calls for cane sugar but that wasn't in the drop down. It is supposed to be added at the end of the boil. And the Black Patent is supposed to be steeped for 20 minutes at 160ºF.

Ingredients (All Grain, 5 gal)
- 6 lbs
Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

Good Bitter

Wish I could remember what Adnams originally tasted like. This seems familiar and it tastes good. Scaled it down to a three gallon batch and added Irish moss to clarify it. I let it condition in bottles for a week and when I first tasted it, it tasted of burnt marshmallows. Let it sit a few more days and the flavor matured and the bitterness came through.
