So far, my buddy and I have done a few batches of APA's. This time we would like to branch off and try making a English Pale Ale (ESB).
We have used EKG in a brown ale before, but more for bittering(60min and 30 min). This ale we will probably use EKG and/or Fuggles. I would like any input as to what people prefer for flavor/aroma additions as I am not so familiar with these hops. I was thinking of using EKG at 60 mins. as it is a higher AA%.
As well, this will be a mini mash. The store we go to does not have Marris Otter Extract, so we will have to use light LME (the DME is too expensive!). Are there any grains that will aid us in getting a more "English" taste? Probably will be using Crystal(70-80), maybe .5lbs of cara-pils, and up to about 2lbs of english pale ale(hugh baird) and whatever else.
Thanks in advance for the input!!!!
