Q: Spitfire can be considered a Kentish ale, right?
A: It doesn't get more Kentish than Spitfire!
Q: What say ye? Otherwise I'm going to find that copy of Zymurgy and just try that. The nice thing about kentish ales is that my water is perfect for it, which is to say, out of the tap it's horrible for any type of beer other than kentish. Anyway, here's the malt bill:
A: The below recipe from mrbowenz looks real good. I think that 2USG recipe is an old one from one of the CAMRA books, although ingredient wise is probably historically farely accurate. I'd recommend using the WLP022-Essex Ale yeast as I've personally had good luck with it brewing Kentish-style ales. It'll compliment the amber/brown malt giving the finished beer a real nice breadiness akin to a Bishop's Finger or Spitfire. Get the freshest UK Goldings hops you can find. Good luck!
