Brewing an English Bitter - Homebrew Recipe

- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- An English Bitter is a flavorful low ABV beer that's perfect for day drinking and hanging out with friends. In this brewing video, we pay tribute to the classic slapstick comedians of the 1920s and 30s, like Charlie Chaplin! We also drink a cold brew coffee stout homebrew beer that we brewed in a previous video, it's like a Four Loko but better. We really messed up at the end though, let's just say Ross is fairly clumsy guy. If you're interested in learning how to brew this beer, make sure to check out the english bitter homebrew beer recipe below.

"There's not a whole lot going on...." Welcome to the world of traditional English beer! Worry when something is going on, its generally not good a good sign!
Here's the difference... the beer is mainly the same it just defers in alcohol content. What you guys just brewed is called an "Ordinary Bitter" it ranges from 3-4%... then comes the "Best Bitter" ranging from 4-5%... and finally the "Special Bitter" ranging from 5-6% give or take...
Love your content!! Cheers guys, for a great 2021
You guys made 2020 the year of editing. Congrats. Can't wait till 2021 to see what you guys can do.
English bitters are so so good.
I have been hoping for an English bitter vid from you guys - worth the wait! Love the channel and happy new year from England xxx
Loving these edits. Keep up the good work fellas! Love from Seattle.
You guys are awesome 👏🏼 me and my roommate are on our fourth batch now and we’ve learned a lot from this channel, really appreciate how informative you guys are and we never knew you could sanitize the inside packet as well haha
This channel is getting so good, keep it up my dudes
Historically, "mild" referred to beer that was served fresh as opposed to aged - called "stale" - as most were. This was in the age where brown beers such as porter were nearly all that was available, so today, descending from that lineage, milds are a low ABV brown beer with some toast and/or caramel flavors. Bitters are pale to amber beers without any prominent roasty flavors.
Another important distinction used to be price, low abv and small hop additions to milds made them cheaper and therefore the go to more often.
Milds range from 2’s to 7 percent abv and colour from straw yellow, golden yellow, golden amber, amber, copper red, rust red, ruby red, brown red, light brown, mid brown, dark brown to black
Man I get lost in y'alls videos. Thanks for always keeping it interesting and fun. Happy new year also give your edit team a crisp high five for me please.
Happy New Year! This was a good way to greet 2021. Cheers!
Guys, OMG !! That was educational and funny as f@ck! Thank you for all the hard work! Please keep them coming. I’m getting my buddies to buy into CHB/BIAB because of the simplicity and convenience. Your doing all this right!
Super happy to see this - my partner and I just spent the night drinking some home brewed bitters for New Years, and glad to see our recipe is similar! Though I added some brown sugar to get it to like 4.6% for funsies, though I’ll skip it next time.
Add a bag of granulated and bump that shit up as high as it’ll go! 10%? 🤮. Get it up to 20!!!!
To learn the metric conversion, Bob and Doug McKenzie taught me to "double it - then add 30°".
Coo OO coo coo coo coo COO COO COO!
We call that a session beer! Drink it’s all day and night
Awesome video! Ok......just because I'm a huge dork..... where can I watch that Black and White film you guys played clips of? It looks like it would be fun!
Gotta love some Burgess Meredith sprinkled in.
Thanks for the shout out Clawhammer!
This is the best piss take of English beers. So funny.
According to wikipedia:
British brewers have several loose names for variations in beer strength, such as ordinary, best, special, extra special, and premium. The difference between an ordinary and a best bitter is that one particular brewery's best bitter will usually be stronger than its ordinary, and premium bitter stronger again. Hop levels will vary within each sub group, though there is a tendency for the hops in the session bitter group to be more noticeable.
Drinkers group the beers into five categories:
Light alea low alcohol bitter, often bottled.[6]Session or ordinary bitterStrength up to 4.1% abv. A number of British beers with the name India Pale Ale will be found in this group,[citation needed] such as Greene King IPA, Deuchars IPA, Flowers IPA, Wadworth Henrys Original IPA, even though they little resemble the traditional style of IPA or its modern incarnation. IPAs with gravities below 1.040° have been brewed in Britain since at least the 1920s.[7] This is the most common strength of bitter sold in British pubs. It accounted for 16.9% of pub sales in 2003.[8]Best or special bitterStrength between 4.2% and 4.7% abv. In the United Kingdom bitter above 4.2% abv accounted for just 2.9% of pub sales in 2003.[8] The disappearance of weaker bitters from some brewers' rosters means "best" bitter is actually the weakest in the range.Premium or strong bitterStrength of 4.8% abv and over. Also known as Extra Special Bitter, or in Canada and the US, ESB. (ESB is a brand name owned by Fuller's Brewery in the UK)Golden aleGolden or summer ale has an appearance and profile similar to that of a pale lager. Hop Back Brewery brewed one of the first, called Summer Lightning, in 1989.
Where I'm from we call the strong stuff esb
Loved the sabbath shirts 😍
happy new year, from Russia with love!)
oh my, i laughed so hard my tummy started hurting
Cheers happy new year ,staying thirsty here.
You guys should look into the different varieties of invert syrups, it looks complicated but is actually really easy to make. They are highly fermentable but what gets left behind definitely leaves some character. I've been using it in all my bitters and a strong ale and will do some various scottish ales with it. Feel free to experiment with different types of cane sugar aswell.
I like this lane,, Now that you've found, stick to it,, It's rolling just fine now.
I come from a town on the border of England and scotland so grew up with both the English Bitters & Scottish Ales. Both great stuff, but prefer the Scottish Ales. The bitter and 70/- are usually around 3.5% and great all day beer. Made my first home brew here in Melbourne just before Christmas - 20ltrs (or just over 5gal US) of Scottish 70/-. My Aussie friends loved it as it was just so different to their crap 3.5 beers (cough cough shite lagers that are now so popular - I'm not a big hop fan). So basically it got smashed in 3 days.
Will make a English bitter next, thanks for the video I enjoyed it.
haha "not a lot going on"....for modern drinkers! at one time this was like the IPA of beer haha
Crazy how that Yank ww2 soldier is Rockys trainer mike
Such a good job
Wait... Did you guys get a Brazilian to read the Brazilian comment? The accent sounded right
Yes, we actually did!
🤣🤣
Cheerz to 2021 🍻
Crushed again boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F in Home run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best just the best
Cheers from England! What was the clip from where the guy is describing the English pub?
It's a PSA made by the US military describing how soldiers should conduct themselves in English pubs! ua-cam.com/video/_GCcoaSq3x4/v-deo.html
I love the editing. We’re you serving it cold or room temp?
I hope you mean cellar temp (10-12°C) and not room temp hahaha most beers will taste really weird at room temp (22°C)
@@kiliang96 I guess 12C is the usual temp in England!
Damn, forgot to mention that we served it at English cellar temp
Is Ross able to do a video on what it's like to be a brewer at a larger brewery? I'm always interested in hearing about that
As someone who works in one. Its a whole lot of paperwork, numbers, testing, and sensory on it through fermentation. Its alot more than homebrewing but when ypur paid for it rather than as a hobby its understandable
Good question. We should ask!
Epic!
"This is like FourLoko from the Old Country...."
Isn't that Ross in the Ugly Stik fishing video on UA-cam 🤔 i just seen it 4 the 1st time today
Sure is! Ross is a mystical man of many talents.
@@ClawhammerSupply well keep on fishing 🎣 Ross and making awesome videos with the Clawhammer Supply guys and other videos 👍👍
you guys are funny lol
Love the video's guys, keep it up! But understand for others...yes they can just convert "American" into metric...but you guys are getting big and I'm seeing your subscribers growing....when editing just throw in a subtitle in the bottom with it in metric.... :-D Rock on guys.....PS: Love the Black Sabbath t-shirt!!!!!
Besides, the US already runs on metric, they just convert it into freedom units.
The difference is just abv: weakest to strongest is mild, bitter, best, special etc. I grew up near an olde style brewery pub in England which had a very lenient policy on serving 16 year olds
Mild is malt-focused with some roast character. The bitter family is more about balance, with prominent hop and fruity character as well.
С новым годом )
Bathams Is THE Best Bitter nothing else is even close that I've tried
google is not my friend, lets start a patreon for metric system, ok?
Was that the dude off of Rocky?
"GET UP YA SON OF A BITCH... Cause Micky loves ya" I do believe it is!
My nitro coffee stout matches my red Kia. Where did I go wrong in the brewing slash car purchasing process? Eagerly awaiting your analysis. Cheers.
Not enough roasted malts?
You're red-brown colourblind.
Rip Emmet
70 F = 21 C lol cheers
Fun fact, if your fermenter falls sideways, it will empty through the airlock, been there done that
There are two types of countries in this world. Those that use the metric system, and those that have been to the moon.
Even NASA has seen sense and now uses the metric system!
“This is like four loko from the old country” 😂
I can't have a beer when I brew because I always end up smashed and ruining the recipy
Northern Mild [Nth UK] - more roasty flavour, darker malts, less alcohol. Eeee By Gum.
Pint of Ordinary
Pint of Bitter
Pint of ESB
how long do i need to ferment a pale ale at home? 1 week in primary, 2 in secondary, 2 in bottles?
Sounds about right, but I'd suggest no fewer than 3 weeks in bottles. It will better with aging mostly.
They want y’all to do the hard work for them an convert it from imperial to metric. If is so easy y’all do it then! Pretty simple right! I mean I’ve only seen y’all international take 0.020” (.5 mm) convert it wrong to 0.002” (.050 mm). Just stick with the system y’all know let them convert it if it’s so easy!
Mild is a bitter, with lower ABV
less ross more rachel! love the content, keep it going!
Look foreign friends! We use freedom measurements and also drive on the right side of the road. The way it should be.
Freedom units are just a poor imitation of British imperial measures
I’m British and I was recently in California and I’ve gotta say your beer is much better than our piss
What a shit take
Mild means unaged (in oak casks) meaning it was sweet and had body left in the beer as Brettanomyces had not aged the beer. Mild existed before bitter. Bitter means exactly what it says, bitterness which balances the sweetness. So a mild is a young beer, a bitter is also a young beer, but is also bitter. Both beers have a separate history (different malting and brewing processes prevalent at the times the beers were popular, lower abv during wars, etc) which leads us to two beers, a mild (that is a dark beer with low hops that emulates an old beer style that existed before pale malt was made with coal fires in the industrial revolution) and a bitter, that is a copper colour which has a reasonable hop bitterness.
Also I loved the comment. Really all beer types (mild, bitter, IPA) are just marketing terms. As an example, the word ale originates from the Viking drink that was made with gruit, which did not include hops. Ale was then used to describe beer that was pale because pale ale sounds better than pale beer.
This applies really well to the difference between a bitter and a special or indeed and extra special bitter. They are just marketing terms.
Ross looking at the comment section later: 🍿
The gunk pile.. dumping different things with different fluids on top of each other. If you start a new pandemic I’m gonna get mad.
From your Canuck fans, perhaps we are just used to it, but why can’t others just use a converter? Dear metric snobs
1F=-17.222C
1Gal=3.785L
Stop being lazy and expecting others to do everything for you!
Fahrenheit to Celsius is not a linear conversion so knowing what 1F is ostensibly useless.
@@elidanceali agreed!
