NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500

subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Expended against projection $2500.06

Subject: Bramling Cross
Calvin, Al Korzonas states in "Homebrewing, Volume I",
"Bramling Cross- an "aroma varirety" from Britian. It is a grandparent of
Saxon and Viking. Bramling Cross has a unique toasty, buttery, slightly
resiny aroma with some woody notes. Substitutes: Fuggle, in my opinion,
based on aroma." " Alpha 5.5 to 7.0, Beta acid % of Alpha 2.5 to 3.5,
Cohumulone acid 34
I have not used it myself, but have always found Al's information to be very
good. His book has great descriptions of hops, yeasts, styles, etc.
Hey Al, is there a Volume II in the works yet?

Calvin, I haven't brewed with Bramling Cross, but Ant Hayes mentioned
it in his presentation[1] (slide 21) at the last AHA Conference as
used in single-varietal golden ale. Seems it must have decent flavor
and aroma profiles to be used in single-varietal beer.
