I spent a bit of time in the UK about a decade ago and remember turning A LOT of Boddingtons into pee. I can't remember how good or bad it was so I want to try to make a clone. I like this recipe I found, borrowed from Orly off Homebrewtalk.com.
There's a few things I don't understand (such as adding hops at the first sparge) but I'll post the original then my conversion to BIAB.
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Generic Youngs Aleyeast
Yeast Starter: No Additional Yeast or Yeast Startery: No
Batch Size (Gallons): 6.5
Original Gravity: 1.040
Final Gravity: 1012
IBU: 40
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 7.9 srm
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 5
Additional Fermentation: Ready soon after Carbonation.
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 5
Boddington's
Boddington's used to be brewed at Strangeway's brewery, which has closed. The brand is owned by InBev who have contracted with Hyde's to have their cask beer brewed at Moss Side. (The keg version is brewed by InBev at Salmesbury, near Preston, and Magor, in South Wales.)
This recipe is the the winning recipe to duplicate the cask Boddington's in it heyday when brewed at the Strangeway's Brewery.
Brew Type: All Grain
Style: English Ordinary Bitter
Brewer: Orfy
Batch Size: 23.00 L
Boil Volume: 30.50 L
Brewhouse Efficiency: 80.0 %
Prepare 40.21 L water for brewing
Prepare Ingredients for Mash
3.30 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain
0.25 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain
0.12 kg Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain
0.03 kg Chocolate Malt (450.0 SRM) Grain
Single: Add 9.66 L of water at 75.0 C 60 min - Hold mash at 68.0 C for 60 min
Add first wort hops to boiler at start of sparge
Amount Item Type
25.00 gm Northern Brewer [8.50%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops -- Drain Mash Tun -- Batch Sparge
Round 1: Sparge with 17.78 L of 77.0 C water. -- Batch Sparge
Round 2: Sparge with 9.77 L of 77.0 C water. -- Add water to achieve boil volume of 30.50 L -- Estimated Pre-boil Gravity is: 1.030 SG
Boil for 60 min
Start to Boil.
15 min into boil Add 25.00 gm Goldings,East Kent [4.00%] (45 min)
Flame out 25.00 gm Goldings, East Kent [4.00%](60min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) --
Cool wort to fermentation temperature --
Add 3.00 L water (as needed) to achieve volume of 23.00 L --
Siphon wort to primary fermenter and aerate wort. --
Add Ingredients to Fermenter
Amount Item Type
1 Pkgs Youngs Generic AleYeast Yeast-Ale
(Estimate: 1.040 SG)
10 days Ferment in primary for 5 days at 20.0 C
(Estimate: 1.012 SG)
Bottle with corn sugar:75
Age for 2 Weeks at 17.0 C
Taste Rating (50 possible points): 40.0 Brewed to be a match for the Boddington's Cask bitter at its peak
So here's my plan thus far...
Pale Ale (Perl) (Beds). 4.45kg. 89%
Cars Pils (Ger). 0.3kg. 6%
Medium Crystal (TF UK). 0.2kg. 4%
Chocolate Malt (TF UK). 0.05kg. 1%
60 min mash @ 68*C
10 min mash out @ 78*C
60 min boil
Northern Brewer 60 min
East Kent Goldings 45 min
East Kent Goldings 0 min (leave in until pitching temp reached then remove)
(make up to 40 IBU)
Ferment @ 17*C with Wyeast London Ale 1028
So that's the plan. It's pretty spot on percentage-wise with the grain, only thing I'm not too sure about is the usage of the Northern Brewer.
I'll put this into the Brewbuilder once I get some advice on here.
Cheers, Rob
