Jim's Beer Kit

As the title says, but beer to be put into a barrel to condition and mature. My local club is planning a new barrel project and we are settled on this one. Lookng to build a recipe now, any opinions on recipe welcome. Plan is to use a Rum Barrel, if available. ABV around 8% ish .

The coca cola of beers is how I describe this beer, just too nice to drink. My local club went down the rabbit hole trying to clone this beer a few years back. will look up the 2 recpes I did later. Do recall getting Franconian Drak Lager yeast to use for this once, WLP4030.

As above, I like to check the gravity as the brew day progress's and have being using my normal refractometer but like the ease of this. The Anton Paars models cost over £300 but this one from my mate Ali in China looks fair value and its my Birthday in January

The read out is fast and clear. No peering down a tube at a vaguely hazy line!

When I alerted my local club to this launch, they, being an acerbic bunch were focused on Brown IPA being really an American Brown
