Bloody Ell Clone

Several people have asked me to share my (clone) recipe for a Beavertown beer known as "Bloody E'll" - it's called that because it unusually contains blood orange juice and here's my version! Note, this isn't any kind of official recipe just my own approximation, i.e. the real recipe is probably nothing like this but to me the following tastes good and is similar enough. The ingredients have undergone several iterations and some experimentation and have settled down to the following malt and hop bills (note this is for 1 imperial gallon so you'll need to scale up or down depending on your batch size),

Maris Otter Pale Malt 950g (82%)

Carabelge Malt 100g (9%)

Carahell Malt 100g (9%)
