So I brewed a yeast starter for tomorrow's ESB. I also kegged an ESB, and finished a keg of ESB.
Did I happen to mention that I like ESB's?
-a.
You and me both
Just did my first AG, BIAB, 2.5 gallon, batch to ferment in one of my old Mr. Beer LBKs, yesterday and was shooting for a, sort of, ESB. A little higher gravity but using 2.25 kg Maris Otter, 250 g crystal 70, 125 g of chocolate wheat and 250 g of brown sugar. Nugget (12 g) for bittering, Kent golding and Fuggles (10 g each @ 15 min, 8 g each @ 5 min).
Hit my post boil OG (1.068) absolutely perfectly, surprised the **** out of myself, and just hoping my mash temps weren't too high. Sample was definitely promising so even if I get a high proportion of unfermentable sugars it'll just be a low ABV, but quite nicely balanced, beer.
