Banks's Bitter ....

Hi all,
does anyone have a recipe for the above?
I read somewhere that it is in Graham Wheeler's book "Brew your own British real Ale".
I have that book and also the one on brewing European ales but alas, no recipe for a Banks Bitter
Maybe the edition I have is too new or too old
If anyone can help I will really appreciate it

Page 132 in the third edition!

Take normal bitter, add water...

Fortunately GW's recipes are, on the whole, from a time before these beers got accountantised.

Pale Malt 3,840g
Black Malt 39g

Fuggles 57g @ 90 minutes.
Goldings 19g @ 10 minutes.

1038° and 3.8%

Thanks for the replies and thank you Kyle for the recipe

Now't wrong with a 3.8%, looks good to me,................. and you can always drink more.
Isn't a pedigree clone similar but stronger

I actually don't mind it TBH. It's always available for a quid a bottle and I'd rather those on a hot summer day than some nasty industrial lager...

I just can't help thinking that it was probably a much better beer back in the mists of time.

KP,

I am home now and the book I have is "Brew your own Real Ale at Home".

On my page 132 I have "Timothy Taylor LANDLORD" recipe.
Thanks for the heads up

I think Graham would appreciate you not publishing his copyright material on a public forum

And I think you should ask wether I had already spoken to him previously.

Of which I had some time ago, otherwise I wouldn't post it.

But should he crop up saying otherwise I will remove it.

So Graham gave you permission to publish his material?

He did. He's nice that way.

If he's changed his mind, he's a member here so he'll shout.

Cracking beer, many a good night had on these. But then again i am from the midlands!

I contacted Graham on behalf of the other place several years ago. He said he had no problem with people posting his recipes providing it wasn't for glory or gain so I think providing he receives the credit he deserves there is no problem.

Sorry to have stirred a bit of a hornets nest!

does anyone have a recipe for the above?

I actually meant ANY recipe for the Banks Bitter
Apologies if I inferred that I wanted the one specifically from the Graham Wheeler book
I do have two books authored by Graham but could not find the recipe in either.

A big thank you for the recipe to the author, Graham Wheeler.

And that's one of the reasons I bought his book! Seems a genuinely nice bloke and I'd seen a few recipies of his that had been posted a while back which made me intreuged as to what other little gems were in that book!

Fairly sure it is only in the third book.

As Calum mentioned was always available at Aldi for a pound a bottle, down to 89p today.
