After all of those watery Milds here's something a little beefier. But only a little. I wouldn't want you to go crazy or anything.
This iteration of Lees Bitter is notable for being very unremarkable. If you get what I mean.
If you’ve been paying attention, you might have noticed the lack of crystal malt in many Bitters, as is the case here. It’s surprisingly recently that it became a standard element of Pale Ale grists.
Black malt is slightly unusual in a Bitter. The quantity is so small it’s clearly just to add a little colour. The No.2 invert in the recipe is my substitution for invert and CWA.
As the hops were all English, I’ve guessed Fuggles and Goldings. The chances are they were that, or something similar.
An underlet raised the mashing temperature to 149º F.
