Robinsons Unicorn Bitter Recipe?

Post by rogerm » Fri Jan 30, 2009 4:58 pm

Does anyone have a recipe for Robinsons Unicorn Bitter 1042? Not to be confused with their Stockport bitter which is I believe 1035.

It isn't much, but here's what I have:

Robinsons Best Bitter/Unicorn Bitter
OG: 1041
Grainbill: Pale, Crystal Malt, small % Flaked Maize, Torrified Wheat
Hops: mainly Goldings, small % Northdown and Hallertau
Dry hops: Goldings

as opposed to the seemingly similar:

Robinsons Bitter/Old Stockport Bitter
OG: 1035
Grainbill: Pale, Crystal Malt, small % Flaked Maize, Torrified Wheat
Hops: Goldings, small % Northdown
Dry hops: Goldings

It looks to me the only differences are strength, and the possible inclusion of some Hallertau aroma hops in the higher-end Unicorn version.

I hope that helps a little, at least.
