Hi Wales

Have passed that pub a few times and always wondered if it was any good!

I have an English Bitter kit in stock (its passed its use by date now by about a month or so). I have an Inkbird ITC 308s coming next week and I want to use that for an extract vanilla porter for xmas so that will probably go on first..but.. my plan for the bitter was:

1 kit can
1kg BKE
a jar of golden syrup
and some hops: I have fuggles and was going to get some EKG, and do 25g of each boiled for 15mins in 2l of water followed by a further 25g of each dry hop.

This was a recipe I saw on another forum giving abv of about 6.5 or so. My only worry is adding extra bitterness as the kit is apparently quite bitter as it is? What do you think?

Hen,
It is a good pub, new owners Vintage Inns, much better than Brewers Fayre that used to have it.
As to the bitterness of the kit, yeah, be careful, mine was a bit sharp from the FV.

Bottled this today.
Dry Hop last Wednesday with 45gr Chinook Pellets. Hops out yesterday.
60gr Batch prime plain sugar.
Great taste from the FV, even better taste after priming!
