Which is going to make my life easy. Everything I said about the XX in terms of grist and hopping also applies to this beer.
Despite being the smaller sibling, this beer still packs a fair punch. It’s well north of 5% ABV, but it’s the IBUs that most intrigued me. They’re exactly the same as for XX, even though I’ve scaled the quantity down perfectly correctly. It interested me, at least.
Not really much more to say. Just enjoy the recipe. And drink Mild!

Alpha acid isomerisation is more efficient the lower the gravity, but still surprising it's made that much difference.
Much more sensible!
Forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to sort this all out. Are X ales mild ales?
Kevin,
yes.
At this weeks national home brewers conference my club will have 4 milds on tap. We have you to thank (or blame) Ron. thanks for all the info
