Ordinary Bitter

Codename : Westfort Yorkshire Bitterthorpe This is another recipe from Home Brew Beer by Greg Hughes. I scaled it down from the original 5 gallon recipe.

I did my own research, it is a time hounored technique in brewing. Before I...

Strong Bitter

Codename : Extra Sarah Bitterthorpe With previous successes in improving my technique, and hitting the gravity marks, I focused on the style guide to drill down on this classic British Strong Bitter.
