Phil_McGlass Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 This is a good recipe. (DME = dried malt extract) Don't feel tied to First Gold and Fuggles (which works great mind), most English type hops are pretty interchangeable - EKG, Challenger, Progress, Pilgrim, Northdown, Styrian Golding all work well in a bitter. The yeast will make a big difference. A good liquid yeast like Wyeast 1469 or 1318 will provide nice esters and mouthfeel. Liberty Bell seems like a decent dried yeast alternative from my couple of uses of it. Personally, some of my favourite beers here in England atm are the traditional cask bitters that have had American hop added, often it is Cascade - so maybe add a bit of Cascade or something, as I often do. We get some excellent cask bitters that are 100% Cascade, or Amarillo, for example, but I do like those that blend English and American as well, alongside traditional English malts and yeasts.
