Dunno if it'll be the perfect bitter but I'm going for a 5 points esque beer, fuggles with medium crystal, wheat and amber probably next week. Yeast will be CML Midland, which I've found to be quite nice recently.
I made some with a similar recipe but used Biscuit malt rather than Amber, all Fuggles hops and Midland. Turned out good.Dunno if it'll be the perfect bitter but I'm going for a 5 points esque beer, fuggles with medium crystal, wheat and amber probably next week.

I'm hijacking this thread a little, I am waiting for this years UK hop harvest to hit the market. Any of you natives got any info on this years harvest? How was the Bramling and First Gold? Did the Goldings come out allright?
Sadly they seemed to be mostly sold out, and unsure if they ship to Sweden. How come the Bramling X was so low on alpha? Those usually are more around 6-8%.I have bought some from a small grow who is happy to sell to homebrewers

I had a go at the Five Points with my home-made amber and Verdant yeast

FWIW I've had a few pints now of my Mustang Ale (which I really should rename bitter since that's what it clearly is) and I'm really pleased with the results from this strainI had a go at the Five Points with my home-made amber and Verdant yeast, four days ago. It's sitting in a bucket now, with a nice creamy head on it, looking good.
Is there a more accurate formula for those of us who do 30 minute boils?Agreed, but I think it's due to relying on Tinseth's formulae and the like, whcih seem to provide less bitterness outside an industrial environment.
Use Brewfather - then it's done for you - see David Heath on YouTubeIs there a more accurate formula for those of us who do 30 minute boils?
