Simple, Delicious ENGLISH BITTER (Step-by-Step Homebrew Tutorial)

It's about time I included an English beer style in the simple brewing series - English beers are not difficult to make, and are some of the most satisfying and balanced beers out there. The Bitter that I brewed in this video had excellent English hop character and satisfying, chewy toffee-like maltiness that was delicious. Watch as I brew this beer step-by-step so you can replicate it yourself at home! ------------------------------------------------------- CLAWHAMMER SUPPLY SYSTEM: http://www.clawhammersupply.com/?aff=11 ------------------------------------------------------- MERCH STORE: https://theapartmentbrewer-shop.fourt... ------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT ME ON PATREON:   / theapartmentbrewer   ------------------------------------------------------- FIND ALL MY RECOMMENDED HOMEBREWING EQUIPMENT ON MY AMAZON STORE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/theapartm... ------------------------------------------------------- NORTHERN BREWER: https://www.northernbrewer.com/?utm_s... ------------------------------------------------------- MOREBEER: http://www.morebeer.com/index?a_aid=a... ------------------------------------------------------- STARTING A YOUTUBE CHANNEL OR A BREWING BUSINESS?
