Aroma hops yum, i would be wary that i am over hopping but hey who dares wins [biggrin]

 

I am doing the same recipe just as it is on the site and using the Nelson Sauvin hops at 30grames

 

I might have to drink some Coopers ale on Friday night and use recultured yeast [innocent] then again i might try the pair in the kit and compare down the track a bit when i do another with a few changes.

I've become interested in the Burton Ale that was called "Australian Ale" when it was shipped from England to AU in the 19th century. It was originally an English Barleywine as it was described in a write up I was pm'd.

It was said to be on the sweet side with an amber to light copper color. Here's my recipe idea so far;

1 can OS draught

1 can English bitter

3lbs (1.362kg) Munton's plain light DME

maybe 6-8oz (170.1g-226.8g) of English hops ( supposedly a lot of hops to keep the beer fresher for the voyage)

Brewed to 23L (6.072G)

It would def be a big beer,so aging could take a while. Even if it turns out to "only" be in the range of 1.070-to 1.090 OG.

I think I may have to use both 7g sachets of ale yeast in a starter for a couple days.

Or maybe go to an English ale yeast that can tolerate high ABV%.

Not sure on which to use at this point. I'll need Burton salts as well,since the PH to make the water hard is/was to style. What say you?
