South Street Ordinary Bitter

I want a decent ordinary bitter, around the 4% mark that I can have a couple of pints of on a school night and still be able to fill in the old mileage return afterwards. I also want to use existing ingredients because money's a bit tight and I only want a cornie's worth.


I've had a bit of a dig around in the freezer (and BeerSmith) and I've come up with this:


19L Brew length


Esitimated IBU 35
Estimated Colour 16 EBC
Estimated ABV 3.94%

10g Cascade (5.5%) 30min
30g Saaz (4%) 15min
