Bitter Bitch Clone

[Paul Cannell]

Doing a few beers for my sisters wedding this time next year and I'm planning on doing a few practice runs between now and then. 

Does anyone have an all grain clone recipe for Bitter Bitch or something similar. I've had a bit of a poke around google and haven't had much luck.

This might be of help...

What is your target audience? - will they be hop heads or are you better off making "approachable beers"?

What other styles are you looking at?

Mark Jackman at http://www.weezledogbrewing.co.nz/ published his recipes recently , if you like his beers you have a great yardstick to compare your own brewing....  

 http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/1443316/hopster   is a great beer.

http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/1443315/easy-weezy   always good to have session beers at weddings.

Haven't tried the beers,a quick google didn't find them in Wellingtonthe other day, but that easy-weezy really appeals

This will be one of 5. The groom is a real hop head and the other 4 will be more Grandfather friendly.

Grandfather friendly or Grainfather )-:

One way of dealing with the Hop Husband, would be to use a hopback or "Randal" on the keg when serving.

Grandfather!

Thanks for the feedback. I think i'll give the Mountain Warrior APA a go as well as the Eazy-weezy,

I have just bottled the Eazy-weezy last weekend, will report back once I have cracked the first one in a few days...

Nearly finished brewing for my cousins wedding (8th of April).

Planned line-up:

8.5% NZ IIPA

6.5% US IPA

5.8% NZ Amber

4.9% NZ PA (supposed to be 5.1% but missed OG)

4.9% NZ Pils

3.5% Cheery Berliner Weisse

Have done a corny of each minus brewmania entries and a few tasters here and there... Been quite the mission - think I might take a few months off brewing and focus on finishing my electric system, it's fun but one brew every 4-5 days for a month really takes it out of you.

Hi Rob,

Nice write up - you have a few typos mind!

Like the Tardis beer taps - did you make that?
