First attempt at an english bitter. Wanted something for late summer campfires.

Marris Otter ~ 91%
Carastan ~ 8.5%
Blackprinz ~ 0.5%

Northern Brewer 1.5 oz @ 60m ~ 23 IBU
Northern Brewer 0.5 oz @ 20m ~ 5 IBU
Northern Brewer 0.5 oz @ flameout

OG ~ 1.045
SRM ~ 6.5
IBU ~ 28

1335 British Ale II


Thoughts?

Looks fine to me, although I've never used blackprinz.

If you're looking at a late summer beer, you probably don't need to brew for a while. I find you can turn these guys around pretty damned quickly - ferment 7 days, d-rest 2, keg, drink. For the style, you could probably skip the d-rest and force carb using the 'shake the shit out of it' method and be drinking it within 2 weeks of brewing.
