BitterI have about 7 to 8 pounds of MO. I want to brew something with my BIL that is simple and will be ready quickly. I have access to a good LHBS. This would be the first AG that the BIL has seen (he's still in Mr. Beer). What would you suggest? Please include recipes. I've got some ideas, but don't want to taint the discussion.
straight up Ordinary Bitter or a Mild

Here's one example of mine that I posted on NB but it's certainly tweakable. This one is for ESB so it runs a little higher.
ESB
8.50 lbs UK Pale Malt (Pauls, Muntons, Maris Otter, Golden Promise)
8 ounces Thomas Fawcett Dark Crystal #1 or Simpsons British Crystal 70-80L
8 ounces Torrified Wheat
1.25 ounces US Kent pellets @ 4.9% for 60 mins (6.1 AAU)
1 ounce Styrian Golding pellets 3.8% for 15
1 ounce Styrian Golding pellets 3.8% for 5
Wyeast 1028 London Ale
OG: 1.054, FG: 1.014, IBU: 37, SRM: 10, ABV: 5.2%
Mash 151-152° for 60-90 mins. I usually add some gypsum to a beer like this to boost the sulfates. The torrified wheat is to soften the beer a little, give it a little body and help with head formation and stability. Not sure what the deal is but they use it so I use it. I see it in A LOT of British beers. Cheers.
