DeclanM Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 HI all Declan here , has anybody got a recipe for Abbot Ale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kearnage Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I found this attempt: Abbot Ale The conclusion seems to be nice beer, but not terribly close to Abbot Ale. Does describe the hops etc though. Most of the recipes about are all grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtownClown Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I love Abbot Ale and so does my mate's wife. We import it in cans and pay thru the nose for it (around $100/case). We have tried to replicate this many times (All Grain, Extract & Kits and Bits), producing some really nice Ales but not close enough to Abbot to claim success. We call those Abbot Style Ales[wink] As the link that Kearnage points out, the mystery lies in the yeast, also in the water treatment (should not really affect an extract brew, though). Other things to consider are ferment temps and process. The malt and hop bill is fairly innocuous. Start with the recipe link he posted, maybe half batches and try different yeasts (I tried one with Cooper's re-cultured yeast and was pleasantly surprised). If it is a Tony Abbot Ale you wish to make, add a ton of Bullshit strained thru budgie smugglers and have it blessed by the Pope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeclanM Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Cheers all will do some experiments and see how I go.But no budgie smugglers are going to be abused.I will leave that up to Mr foot in mouth Tony Abbot.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtownClown Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I also suggest the English Bitter kit from cooper's with some (not much) aroma hopping (a little Fuggles or Goldings) and a Thames Valley, Burton Ale or Cask Ale liquid yeast. You may not get Abbopt but you will enjoy. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
