For a change, here's a recipe I've just written for my upcoming book, "Keg!". A beer that is still around today, Adnams Bitter.
I’m assuming that “BB” stands for Best Bitter. Though Adnams didn’t have an Ordinary Bitter. While, in reality, this is Ordinary Bitter strength.
This was the beer that Adnams brewed by far the most of. And increasingly so, as the fortunes of Mild waned.
Uncomplicated, is one word you could use to describe the recipe. There’s just a single base malt. Accompanied by No. 1 invert. Then there was a tiny amount of caramel, in the form of Sucramel. And an amount of malt extract so small, I couldn’t be arsed to include it in the recipe.
Hulme, Epps and Day. That’s all I know about the hops. I assume they’re the names of the growers. Who, by the look of it, were all English.
