English ales traditionally have low carbonation. I have mine sitting at 10.
Looking forward to hearing how it turns out - I carbonated lower (around 14 iirc) and I have been wondering if I should bump that up the next time I brew this one...
Picked up grains for this esb, yesterday hoping to brew it tonight. Going to use whitelabs 002 washed from a porter might add a little colour to it. Hopefully not too much.
How long should I condition this beer or can I keg it and drink it as soon as it's done fermenting?
Eh, you're mashing high so probably not too much. There's a lot of crystal that makes up the flavor too. Maris Otter has a distinct flavor but I'm sure Canadian stuff will make an excellent beer. I'm sure it'll be fine.
