I was thinking of brewing an English Pale Ale ala a Bass Ale. Looking at some of the recipes, it seems the only real difference between and APA and English Pale Ale is hops and yeast. Am I missing something? Replace Cascade with Kent Golding/Fuggle and use English Ale yeast? That's it?
Also, I had planned to re-use a wyeast 1271 (American Ale II) cake. If yeast is 1 of 2 changes, that probably won't work. I would need one of the London/British strains. My plan was to brew English Pale Ale followed by a stout for some Black & Tans... but I've never pitched to a yeast cake and so I kinda wanted to do that.
Also, is an English Pale Ale the same thing as an ESB?
