I'm on track to really nail recipes of 2 of my favorite beers. Version 1.0 of both my ESB and Porter have been brewed and turned out well, and now I'm all ready to adjust a few things to see how they differ next time. For the ESB I'm thinking of changing hop comibnations, and for the Porter I'm looking at the grain bill moreso. Your thoughts on recipe critiques or suggestions for changes to the next brew would be appreciated.
