scotty, Get a copy of the BJCP Style Guidelines at: http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php The guidelines will tell you everything you want to know ... and then some. Edit: Check out the Northern Brewer website for recipes. E.g.: http://www.northernbrewe...itter-all-grain-kit.html They have extract recipes as well. --JB

Hi Scotty. British bitter can be compared to IPA's in the USA. Given that, there an be any level of hoppiness/bitterness. Usually they are not too high in ABV. 4.5 to 5.5%
