I have been using slants for last 2 years. So i always do 3 step starter 20-40ml -> aprox 200ml-> 1,2L+.

As a SCB we are organizing competition. And winer of category bitter will be able to send beer to this club only competition.

But we don't really know how to organize qualifications. It is impossible to organize local competitions every few months.

This recipe looks great, I will put it on my list to brew on the first place!I will have to substitute hops, but I think mixture of Styrian goldings, cascade and citra should work fine :)
