Emersons 1812

[Peter Smith]

Damn this is a great beer 

Emerson's 1812 Pale Ale

Indian Pale Ales were developed by the English brewers for troops serving throughout the Empire. To survive the long sea journey, large quantities of hops were added as a preservative. The defining essence of Emerson's 1812 IPA is the sheer 'Englishness'!

The beer has a delightful marmelade character with toffee maltiness, balance by complex, orangey and earth hop notes in both the aroma and palate. Tangy hops dominate the beer's lingering, dry finish.

Does anyone think this recipe is even close?  I plan to use MO rather then gladdies, have all the ingrediants so worth a crack unless someone on here has a clone recipe they have tested?

Hi Peter

Did you do this and if yes how did it come out?

[Nick Good]

I would like to know as well.

It is really more-ish and would love to have a go.

Willamette or Fuggle 25g @10

Yeast: This will change a lot...I am going with Wyeast 1098. Maybe WLP007 or Wyeast 1968.

Ferment for 2 weeks between 20 - 23C (this will encourage esters). No secondary.
