My local Pub here in the east of England sells Timothy Taylor on cask and this honestly looks just as good! Good to see this style get some appreciation because people my age (30s) tend not to drink it and it may eventually end up going the way of Pre-Prohibition styles in the U.S.

Hi Fellow Apartment Brewer, I live in Southern California and my Homebrewer’s Association did an ESB/Strong Bitter challenge in January. That was the first Beer I made by myself, all grain, in my apartment. And I’m very proud of it as well. I used Maris Otter for the main grain and EKG for the flavoring hops. I bottled and used enough sugar for one and a half atmospheres as well. I took it to Fest this weekend and it was very popular as well as my first recipe, a Black Rye DIPA which was also very popular😁🍻

I don’t have room for a hand pump etc, so I generally bottle condition everything. In these English-style Pale Ales I aim for around 2 volumes CO2 and aim for around 4.5-5% abv. The latest is about 3 weeks in the bottle atm. First I’ve made for quite a while and reminded me how much I like it. Definitely my favourite beer style to drink. This one is a tad turbid, and I’m not really sure why. I used WLP002, which is well known for dropping clear. It’s only the 3rd time in 50 batches that I’ve had a brew so stubbornly refuse to clear. Tastes good, just not quite the presentation I’d expected.

One thing about hop flavo(u)r in bitters, from one American cask appreciator to another, is that a whirlpool hop addition goes a long way. I’ve noted this in messages you and I have exchanged on Instagram, but a 1-2 oz addition in the whirlpool just seems to be the capstone in the construction of a wonderful homebrewed bitter. My ordinary bitter with a 2 oz whirlpool addition scored 41 pts in a recent comp.

Thats right, I pretty much usually just do a no-sparge brew day. Saves loads of time and effort and is still consistent. If you are using the full keg as a cask you can always add some head pressure to help prevent any early oxidation. CAMRA might be cranky about it but it shouldnt be an issue.
