TCB Wetpak - English Bitter

Post New Review


Ye Olde English Bitter
by Big Bad Bear @ 29, Jan 2005

 4/5

Followed TCB instructions but used a White Labs Klassic Ale yeast(platinum series WLP033) in a starter.Fermented at 22 degrees for 6 days then racked to glass for 3 months.Very much like a trad bitter of the motherland.Kept the temp and carbonation low in the keg to keep with the style. Lots of malt and mouthfeel with hints of diacetyl and a roasty caramel aftertaste.Will use some oak chips in the next batch to help bring in some traditional cask taste.Cheers.

 5/5

Pack included hopped liquid malt, grain, aroma hops and a Safale yeast. I followed the included instructions for the one hour boil, and used WLP-051 (Cal 5) yeast. Temps were a little high at 23-24 C. Gravities were 1041 to 1008. This tasted pretty good after 6 days in the keg, and hit its straps at 2 weeks (didn't last much longer). This was great fun to make and a nice flavoursome end result. Cooling the wort was a pain; I'll have water in the fridge ready for the next one.
