    This is my twist on the style.

    Best Bitter

    OG 1.042
    FG 1.008
    ABV c.4.5%
    IBUs c.45
    Brew size 21L

    UK Pale 90%
    Crystal (c. 90L) 4%
    Melanoidian 3%
    CaraMunich 3%

    Mashed at 66C for 90min (Cambridge tap). Continuous sparge.

    60min boil

    20g NZ Goldings (4.1%) and 25g NZ Styrian Goldings (5.5%) @60min; 30g NZ Goldings and 30g NZ Styrian Goldings @30min; 10g NZ Styrian Goldings and 5g Motueka (6.7%) @10min.

    Yeast: 1028 (500mL starter).

    This was the first time I used my new thermostat to control fermentation temperature- made my life easier, and hoping that my consistency will improve as a result. Fermented at 20C for seven days, then ramped it up to 22C for two days. No secondary fermentation for this one. Really nice brew.
