Tasting Notes
A nice a clean ESB with a noticeable malt profile and breast English yeast.
I was thinking of our honeymoon in the UK when I designed this recipe. Like manu others, I grew really fond of bitters durning our trip, and wanted to vreate a nice sessionable brew that would invoke memories of our travels. Will be brewing this again in a few weeks, but definitely going for a larger batch. These bottles went quick!

9 lb Marris Otter Pale Malt
.75 lb Caramel Malt 60L (UK)
.25 lb Dark Caramel Malt ~130L (UK)

Additions (75 minutes total boil):
1.5 oz East Kent Goldings – 60 min
1 oz Tettnang – 30 min
Irish Moss Tablet – 15 min
.5 oz East Kent Goldings – 1 min

Wyeast London III

Secondary Fermentation:
Dryhop with 0.5 oz Wiliamette – 7 days
