Batch No. 2: Anglers' Rest Special Bitter


Formula: English Nut Brown Ale HME, Mellow Amber UME, 1 pack Fuggle Hops
Brew Date: November 17, 2010
ferment time: 18 days
Bottle Date: December 5, 2010
conditioning time: 4 weeks
Open Date: January 2, 2011
Rating: 7.5 Stars

My second batch is another attempt to re-create the quintessential English pub ale. The Mellow Amber unhopped extract adds a creaminess that the straight English Brown Ale was lacking.

After a full 4 weeks conditioning, this became a mellow and smooth ale. Tasty, but not quite creamy enough yet.
