I've been working an ESB, and I've got it fermenting in my primary right now. I usually just condition in my primary, but I think I'm going to use a secondary this time because I'm concerned about clarity (I forgot about the stupid Wirlfloc tablet until the boil was over).
I thought this would be a good chance to experiment with some adds in the secondary (which I haven't really done before, as I'm still a bit new at this).
Would you guys suggest dry hopping this, or any other potential adds for the style?
I used Northern Brewer Hops for Bittering, and I used Kent Goldings for Aroma and flavoring hops. My extract was Marris Otter, and I used some Crystal and specialty grains to steep. I have only taken one sample (before pitching, which was Saturday night), and I thought the malt body was mildly sweet, and the hop character fairly pronounced (piney, woody).
Thoughts? Suggestions? Past successes I could learn from?
