New Year Bitter

One of my annual new year brews. This one was for 1992.

(Recipe for 18 litres)

4 lbs Canadian 2-row malted barley
1 3/4 lbs British Pale malted barley
1/4 cup of chocolate malt
1/2 cup of golden yellow sugar
2 cups of crystal malt
1 tsp Burton Salts
1/2 oz Cascade Pellets (start of boil)
1/4 oz Williamette Pellets (start of boil)
1/4 oz Williamette Pellets (last 30 minutes)
1/4 oz Hallertau Pellets (last 15 minutes)
1/4 oz Hallertau Pellets (last 2 minutes)
2 packets of ale yeast

Method:
Infusion mash for 1 hour. Sparge and add Burtons Salts and yellow sugar. Boil for 1 hour, adding hops at intervals as note above. Force cool using wort chiller. Ferment as usual. spg 1.040.

My Notes: Great beer! Tastes more like an European beer than a bitter, but still a great-tasting beer.
