American Best Bitter

This ale is my best bitter using West Coast Hops and pumped up to American ABV levels ~6.5%.  Centennial Hops (adjust quality to % alpha of hops) can be used in place of Falconer's Flight.  Mildly hopped with citrus and apricot tastes. 

Grain Bill
10 lb Marris Otter
0.75 lb Acidulated Malt
0.5 lb Biscuit
0.5 lb Cara-pils

Hop schedule
60min - 1 oz Falconer's Flight (11.5% alpha)
30min - 0.5 oz Falconer's Flight
0min - 0.5 oz  Falconer's Flight

Yeast
San Diego Super and Nottingham blend (most any British Ale Yeast will be fine)
