Adnams Bitter Recipe

While scouring the internet I found this recipe for Adnams Bitter:

Adnams Bitter Clone
by Dave Capolarello

Volume: 5 gallons, OG: 1.035, IBU: 55

Grains (mash at 153 F)
Maris Otter Pale 6 lb
Black Patent 0.08 lb
Cane Sugar 0.63 lb

Hops
Challenger (whole) 1oz at 65 min
E.K. Goldings (whole) 0.5oz at 65 min
Fuggle (whole) 0.5 oz at 60 min, 0.5 oz at 20 min

Yeast
Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale Yeast

For a partial mash recipe, substitute 4.25 pounds of light LME or 3.6 pounds of light DME for the Maris Otter Pale. Steep the Black Patent for 20 minutes in 160 F water. Add the cane sugar at the end of the boil.


And this book appears interesting:
* "Brew Your Own British Real Ale," 1998 by Graham Wheeler & Roger Protz. Consisting largely of recipes, the book now includes U.S. measurements. The recipes are all-grain, but several include methods for converting to malt extract recipes also. Some of the recipes: Ringwood Old Thumper, Tolly Cobbold Bitter, Morland's Old Speckled Hen and Adnams Bitter.

Hi Bill,
The 55 IBU figure seems very high for an OG of 35. That's a BU:GU ratio of 1.57. If the figures are correct, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it. I've had Adnams Bitter and I don't remember it being so bitter.

Cheers,
Mel
