  1. Martin Stephenson

    I found the hop flavour was very high, I put the recipe into Beersmith and Grainfather and it suggests I should use an ounce of Northdown and Perle, anyone else find this to be the case?

      I think it likely that what you are tasting is fresh beer, the hop character will become more subtle with a little ageing.

  2. Jonathan Neilly (verified owner)

    Followed the recipe to a T then conditioned for about 6 weeks at 6c and the end result was unreal. Slightly fruity with just the right level of bitterness to make it mega drinkable. Much better than the over-filtered guff Sharp’s bottle these days. Only downside is it took longer to make than it did to finish the keg…!

  3. Geoff Wilkin (verified owner)

    Made this one 3 times now. All came out good, albeit (very) slightly different. But all very drinkable. New to all grain brewing, so to be expected. Certainly happy with the results. Its a big step up for me, but happy with the results.

    By far my best brew so far! Lovely taste,good head retention and lacing on the glass. Slightly hazy but thats probably down to me! Clearing nicely now. A reminder of how DB tasted before it became ‘the nations most popular vinegar’!! My long suffering panel of beer tasters will breath a sigh of relief when they open this one!

    Every family member or friend who have tried this think it’s a quality tipple. You need quality ingredients to get a great beer so a big thanks to The MaltMiller.
    I like it so much I’m going to brew the 50L version and split it across bottles ang kegs.. Cheers
