So I was all set to brew a 10g AG batch of Fuller's ESB clone today and I just happened to download & listen to Brewing Network's interview of the head brewer of Fuller's. I learned some key things just in time!
1) They only do two hop additions in boil: bittering (60 min) and a flavor/aroma addition (3 min).
2) The bittering is 100% Target, the aroma 90% Northdown & Challenger, with only 10% EKG
3) They do dry hop.
4) 95% English Pale malt, 5% English Crystal 150L... that's it.
5) Burtonized water
I'm going to have to listen more! :rockin:
