I want to clone a beer (an english mild), but the brewery doesn't share their recipes.
This is what I know about the ingredients:
Hops: Galena (I'm guessing for bitterring) and Willamette (I'm guessing for aroma).
Malts: they use Extra Special, and Victory. Then at least one other type, I thought I heard 'black' for color... but the final beer is not really dark (perhaps 18-20 SRM).
From the brewery's website I know this about the beer:
ABV: 4.2%
OG: 1.042
IBU: 15
If I did all-grain brewing I might be more capable of taking a stab at a clone, but I do extract + steeping grains brewing... I don't think there are Extra Special or Victory malt extract. So is it possible to go from knowing what malts they use to developing a good extract + steeping grains recipe?
Many thanks for any help!
