Can someone suggest a wyeast strain to use for this beer. Thanks
That's easy: WY1968 (Fullers)
Probably by far the most used Wyeast yeast for an ESB.

Kingbrianl,
What hop utilization did you use...I'm only calculating 26.2 IBU with beer tools pro and tenseth.
KingBrianI said:I'm not sure whether Beersmith defalts to Tinseth, Rager or whatever, but I just use the default. Different formulas will probably handle the FWH addition differently, while things like boil volume and boil gravity will also effect the calculation as you know.
Yeah, and I'm not sure if you can select FWH in beer tools pro...it's just treating it as a 60 min add.
Thanks for getting back so quick- I'm brewing this one up in a couple of days, looking forward to trying it.
If you were going to add hops as you suggested in one of the posts on this thread, would you just increase the flame out addition? I'm thinking of adding more fuggles.
Thanks again!
KingBrianI said:Additional flameout fuggles couldn't hurt.
HItransplant said:AA on fuggles I got is 6.9, yikes!
I may stick to your hopping weights, assuming I'll get a few more IBUs out of my roided out fuggles.
Thanks!
Making this Wednesday morning

Keep us posted borden, I'm interested to hear how it turns out with the MO substitution.
I accidentally added 1oz of fuggle pellets to the beer at 20 minutes into the boil. Do you think this will ruin the beer?
Nope, it will be fine!
It will be more bitter than the recipe intends, but not so bitter that the beer will be ruined. Some people may actually prefer it more bitter, as yours will be. It will still be a great beer. Don't worry!
HItransplant said:Has anyone else had little to no Krausen with WY1968? I pitched 2 packs and had a quick start. Keep waiting for things to get frothy, but it's staying pretty mellow. 66 degrees at this moment.
Thoughts?
Will do. I'm going to be getting a corona mill so I can buy base malt in bulk, and I'd really like something versatile but relatively cheap. Domestic pale ale malt would seem to fit the bill, as it could fit into almost any style as a base malt without compromising too much on British pales, stouts, and the like. This should be a fun test drive for it.
I think you'll be happy with the results. Maris Otter is fantastic stuff, but I'm on the same versatile/cheap thing with base malt. I use regular 2-row (current bag is Malteurop) with a little victory/munich mixed in. Is it exactly the same as using MO? no, not exactly but I think it's damn close (i've made both versions a few times) and I'm very happy with the end product. Here's my domestic version:

Hope yours turns out great!
I brewed this on December 26th. Do you think it's too soon to keg it?
