Mine finished a lil high at about 1.020 after two weeks... I kegged anyway due to time constraints but I hope it settles out some....still a lil sweet for some of the bitterness to come through...
my lhbs only had 8 lbs of 2 row so i subbed in 2 lbs of maris otter. also they didnt have medium crystal so i had to use some crystal 60.
what do you think?
unfortunatley i only hit 1.044. i think it was the crush, ive never used this lhbs before and the crush didnt look right. but on a plus side this thing is already bubbling like crazy.
I've got this boiling right now... It smells great.
Give me some good reasons to put my new keggle hlt to work!
OK, yeasties have been pitched. Will report back in 6 weeks or so.
I upped the late hop additions, because I hate to have half an ounce left over at the end.
Sparging a batch of this right now. Well, almost. It was a surprise brewday and my LHBS sucks so I could only get the gains and hops for this recipe in the US versions. And I had some WLP002 in the fridge that needed to be used up so I went with that. Tastes awesome so far and I've heard good things about this recipe so I will report back when it gets to the keg.
Hi,
Sipping on my first conditioned pint of this brew and I´m "Lovin it".
I already brewed my second batch of this (the fg sample of the first tasted great).
Hope to get the FG up a bit, mashed to low temperature the first batch, but still a great beer.

I made this beer with using just EKG a few weeks ago and it's kicked off my obsession with ESB. Absolutely fantastic representation of a good english beer, IMO. Going to go for the Fuggle/EKG combo next time and probably dry hop as well. Thinking of using WLP007 too...maybe mash a bit higher to compensate for it's higher attenuation. Thoughts?
Interestingly, my LHBS has both Marris Otter and "British Pale Ale Malt". I'll have to stop by sometime to get the exact descriptions, but I remember them being pretty different. My first batch was with the British Pale malt. Thoughts on which one to stick with?
Just brewed a 3.5 gallon batch of this 2 days ago. I bittered with willamette and fermented with nottingham. I still used a 1/2 ounce of goldings and fuggles and 20 and 0. I have a half ounce of each left and was considering dry hopping. What did you think?
which wyeast straij would be best for this beer/
tia.
WY1469 is out right now and I think it would be fantastic with this beer.
I brewed this last night, man, every time I buy my grain bill crushed from Brewmaster warehouse, i exceed my target efficiency. My OG clocked in at 1.061 (over 80%), and with the West Yorkshire yeast (luckily in a starter), it was purcolating away in 6 hours at 68 degrees.
Plese let me know how it turns out with the 1469!
I ordered 4 ounces of First Gold on a whim to brew an English IPA, until realized I didn't really want an IPA. Could First Gold work in this beer replacing the EKG ? I would still keep the IBUS the same though... I also have MO on hand for the base malt.
