Description
50L batch sized kit
The most popular cask beer in the UK is Sharps Doom bar, the recipe of which is kept as very guarded secret. After lots of research to find hints of the recipe online and brewing test batches this is our interpretation of that beer.
The amber colour from the malts, the fruity yeast flavours, and subtle hop additions make this a pretty much spot on home brew clone version. If you like drinking this beer you can now brew it yourself at home.

This is quite close to the real thing. I made this up as 40L batch instead of 50L and it’s made A fantastic beer, full of flavour.

Superb beer, really happy with the results. The batch gave me 44 litres in the FV which I then fermented under pressure hitting FG in just under 3 days achieving 4.20% ABV. Cold crashed and then kegged at day 5. Tested it 2 days later and it was ready to serve. Pressured filled 20 litres into bottles to be able to give to friends. Everyone I have given a bottle to has said it is miles better than the commercial version on sale today and very close to the original. Quality malts, hops & yeast are the foundation of a great beer so a big thanks to TMM. Cheers!
