Cujo Bitter
This is a rich, dark bitter. The colour is just where I want it. A deep orange/chestnut combination. Not too bitter. I bought a can of beer at our Communist liquor store called Abbotts Ale. It was bready, malty and was at the lower end of the bittering scale. Just the way I like it. I am not a hop head. I used S-04 for this beer because I haven't used it in over 10 years. I will use it more often if I like this beer.
14 Gallons
25 lbs. Canada Malt
1 lb. Flaked Barley
1 lb. Muntons Crystal 40L
12 ozs. Aromatic
12 ozs. Biscuit
12 ozs. Crystal 120
4 ozs. Special B
40 grams Target (UK) - 60 min.
40 grams Challenger (US) - 3 min.
Fermentis S-04
O.G. - 1.052
F.G. - 1.016
% - 4.7
SRM - 11.7
BU - 23
This took overnight to get going. I closed my beer room to keep it cool. The temp strip says it is 64F. I assume it will heat up more as it really gets going. The temp of the room is 60F. This turned out well. Rich and malty. Very clear right from the primary. Big difference from Mauribrew 514 which never floculates at all. That is one yeast I won't use again.
