Low Alcohol-High Crystal, Big Flavour
I'm looking at Session ales and learning a bit more, from what I've read, they tend to have higher Crystal and caramal malts added, to give it mor emalt backbone. Am I right?
and does anyone have a good low alcohol one, with high crystal, and plenty of hop flavour? recdipes welcome.
I'm thinking along the lines of 20%?
any good recipes out there?

Yeah, it is fun looking through some of those old posts. Lot's of experiments and lessons learned. I like to think I'm better for it too... most of the time.

As a start off, I've got a Plan B Type Clone, to replicate it, see how good I really am. Plus I need to build up the yeast for this:

I made a similar thread about "Hoppy Session Beers" a month or two ago and someone posted this recipe which is now high on my must-brew list; http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/01/vienna-malt-session-ip...
The article mentions using more crystal for body but doesn't mention the %.
I've just bottled a 4% lightweight-IPA and a 3.7% hoppy bitter (I'm inventing these names, I know jack about "proper" beer styles!!) and I'm certainly interested in pursuing the concept further.

yeah i saw your Thread recently.
Haha, I like the Mad Fermentationist, he likes to push the boundaries of beer brewing, and I've seen that beer in particular, I've been tempted, but It'll haveto wait for awhile.
If you do make it let us know how it tastes.

Will do, I want to get a couple of darker ones down ready for winter, already got enough IPA to satisfy my lupulin addiction! I do have a big bag of Simcoe and Amarillo in the freezer though, so this will certainly be on the boil before too long.
