Help! I have a colleague at work who is from the Tongham, Surrey area of England, and was quite excited about the idea that I might be able to make a clone of Hogs Back Traditional English Ale (TEA) or Summer Ale.
Does anyone have a recipe for one of these? I found one, but it was certainly lacking in detail. This would make this guy's year, as he loves these beers, so either one would be good, thanks!
Here's what's on Hogs Back website, I've emailed them to see if they can provide any directions as well.
"TEA (Traditional English Ale) (ABV 4.2%)
The brewery’s flagship ale is pale brown, with a hoppy and slightly fruity aroma supported by malt in the taste. A well crafted, bittersweet beer with a long dry finish. A classic Best Bitter."
Oh, and here's the recipe I found for TEA. Any help converting this to available ingredients is very much needed!
----------
T E A Hogs Back brewery Tongham.
25 litre (6.5 gallon) batch OG 1044 ABV 4.2%
PIPKIN PALE MALT 4303 gms (9.5 lbs.)
CRYSTAL MALT (Any ideas? 40-L? 60-L?) 349 gms (.77 lbs.)
HOPS boil time 90 minutes
FUGGLES 35 (.08 oz.) gms
GOLDINGS 33 (.07 oz.) gms
Add 10 gms Goldings last 15 minutes.
Yeast of your choice (I'm thinking a Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale)
