London Pride Clone.

by Scott H

Mar 5, 2014

I've brewed this recipe a couple of times and it has turned out pretty good.

Fuller’s London Pride clone
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.048 FG = 1.012
IBU = 33  SRM = 14
ABV = 4.7%

This recipe is for the bottled version of London Pride. In the UK, London Pride is brewed to 4.1% ABV for cask and keg. In North America, the keg version available is the same strength as the bottled 4.7% ABV.

Ingredients
9.0 lbs. (4.1 kg) Muntons pale ale malt
14 oz. (0.40 kg) crystal malt (75 °L)
5.83 AAU Target hops (60 min)
    (0.53 oz./15 g of 11% alpha acids)
2.63 AAU Challenger hops (15 min)
    (0.35 oz./9.9 g of 7.5% alpha acids)
2.98 AAU Northdown hops (15 min)
    (0.35 oz./9.9 g of 8.5% alpha acids)
Wyeast 1968 (London ESB) or White Labs WLP002 
    (English Ale) yeast

Step by Step
Mash at 149 °F (65 °C) for 60 minutes. Boil for 60 minutes adding Target for the full boil. With 15 minutes left in the boil, add Challenger and Northdown hops. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C).

    In case anyone missed it, Fullers recently tweeted a brewing record (attached below) for ESB, LP and Chiswick Bitter. They're all the same brew (parti-gyled). ESB and CB are dry hopped. LP isn't.

    The brew sheet lists light crystal, but I find that to reproduce the recipe on a homebrew scale it's better to use a 3:1 blend of medium and dark crystal. I'd use Simpsons if I could get it, but since I can't I go with Bairds. Anything other than British crystal will make a very different beer.
