This brew was inspired based on "Bluebird Bitter" from Beer Captured, pg. 59. This was converted down to a 3 gallon recipe. We hit the original and terminal gravities pretty much right on. Plus, we like it a lot, so it won't be around long. What would we do differently? Frankly, we think this brew was great, so we wouldn't anything differently when we plan to make another ordinary bitter.
