Otherwise known as Tennents, but had to get your attention somehow....
Never mind whether or not Tennents is seen as an acceptable recipe to try and clone I have been conversing with the guys at CML earlier, and asked them if they knew any insider info about the tennents recipe. All I know is it uses Herkules hops, presumably for bittering. They said although they didn't know the recipe, they believe its a pretty standard grain bill of 95% pils, 5% Munich or Vienna, but also that it contains some Goldings.
I must admit I was a bit surprised to hear that. What would folks opinions be on the use of Goldings (unsure if they meant Styrain or EKG) ina fairly neutral/clean lager?
I guess the hop bill is what I would need to sort out since I would go for a clean lager yeast, probably CML Hell as I have plenty of that.
Any ideas hop wise?
