ONLY Lee and Perrins will do. There is no alternative that even comes close.


I disagree.  Make your own - it's even better than L & P's

BAM!

Intriguing, but maybe too much sugar, which makes this look a little thick.....

Some folks have their favorites and that's the end all...which I can respect. An authentic recipe and one which should be relished as such. Check this out.

Personally...I try to keep an open mind when it comes to any recipe or creation but L&P is damn good if I must say so myself.

I love Lea & Perrins.   It is in many places I go to eat where my homemade worcestershire sauce is not.  I love them both!

I love commercial beers.  They are in many places I go to drink where my homebrew is not. I love them both!

How can you have a bloody mary without worcestershire sauce?!  ("How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?!")

Come on guys, that's like saying "it's not a xxx style of beer because you didn't use yyy", when you haven't even tasted it to see if it's any good! :)

I hear you, but this is a cultural issue for some. It's a bit like Marmite not being replicable...

I get it, I just think you should try it before you judge.  Vegemite might be a poor substitute for marmite to some (and vice versa) but you wouldn't know for sure without tasting it.  I love my L&P worcestershire sauce, but I'm open to trying a homemade version too.  That's all I'm saying :)

I tried Vegemite.  Some Aussies were in town for the Ironman and shared some with me. 

IMHO it's a poor substitute for anything.  It tasted like what I imagine asphalt on rock salt would taste like.  I'm still trying to get the taste out of my mouth.  :P

I tried some at the NHC when John Preston was visiting from Australia.  It's one of those tastes I haven't acquired :)

So as homebrewer's why not make our own marmite? I mean... it makes sense. Anyone got a recipe?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the homemade version. My point, though, about the sugar levels was that the recipe looked like this would produce something that was too thick. I guess I'll try making some at some point and report back.

On Marmite, I've tried Vegemite and it really doesn't cut it for me. Nor does it work as well for gluing book pages together. As to making it yourself, I guess it's possible, but I'm told that the quantities of yeast required are truly vast to be worthwhile on a small scale. Having said that as it takes its name from a traditional French pot, maybe there could be some mileage in making a Saison and then making Marmite with the spent yeast.

Wow Jeff!

That is fantastic. Reading that just made me hungry.

For me it's homemade pizza tonight. The dough has been cold fermenting for a week now.
