Carling Black Label home brew review using a 50 year old recipe.
Ойын-сауық
This time Penny has decided to try and create a Carling clone using a recipe he found in Dave Line's brewing beers like those you buy book.
Spoiler alert, it tastes rubbish. So does the original though!
Here is what Penny had to say about it.
Carling Brewery was founded in 1840 in London (Now Ontario), Canada. Carling black label was first sold in the UK and in 1980 it became the number one consumed beer which title it still holds today. Now brewed in Burton on Trent, can the Oysterboys clone one of the UK's favourites?

It was drinking a case of Carling during World Cup 2014 that drove me into homebrewing via craft beer in the first place. The final straw was during the Colombia-Uruguay match when James scored that rediculous goal. Punk IPA for the rest of the tournament after that and never looked back. Horrible stuff, thin, weak and smells of rubber 😂
Great video, lads. Next time, brew some Tennent's 😀

Funnily enough I was in Glasgow last week, it’s definitely better than Carling.
Awesome work, fellas. I feel your pain.

Carling smells worst than canal water, And tastes twice as bad.. How they sell so much is beyond me.. Great review guys.. ❤
Never take the Piss out of Carling....it needs all the flavour it can get😂
I think in the book the hops are not pellets. Ive found that using half the amount when using pellets.

Certainly in the older recipes the quality of hops were not as they are today. In a few of the older stout and mild recipes I’ve had to dial down the hop addition as well as boil times. Eventually getting something like.
