Initially this was the slot for the cheapest bitter kit by a vendor that I have used that I hadn't brewed yet. Penciled in was a Northern Brewer kit. I got mad at Northern Brewer when their new shipping policy made me miss my first brew day. So I erased the NB kits, and started listing other vendors' kits. And I thought, hmm, KingBrianI's Common Room ESB seems worthy. So I penciled in Common Room ESB. Then Northern Brewer began to add shipping dates to the $7.99 rate. No longer mad, but what else don't I like about NB? One pound grain bags! I've accumulated many partial Maillard bags. So I penciled in Leftover ESB. Then Homebrew Supply announced their recipe giveaway. I started an entry for Lord of the ESB. That doesn't use leftovers. I didn't post. But, if I don't post, then @CreamyGoodness might win. So I restarted an entry, but thought, using leftovers is more important than blocking CreamyGoodness. So I brewed a Leftover ESB.
SWMBO choice, Hibiscus Mango Blonde, found on Pinterest, clicked through to discover a Joe Strange recipe from Zymurgy. The picture is from the AHA website with the warning: "Note: the actual color of the beer will have more of pink hue from the hibiscus, as opposed to the golden color in the image."
Every sixteenth brew is an IPA clone. This one is my usual LME conversion, slight change to the Victory American hop usage, and dry yeast because it's too hot to ship liquid yeast variation of a Beer Captured recipe by Tess and Mark Szamatulski.
My experiment slot, starting with another brewer's blog, adjusted by Allagash comments on that blog, then modified by adjusting to Allagash website, then the usual conversion to partial something.
SWMBO's choice, starting with @loco 's recipe on the Weihenstephaner Vitus Recipes Thoughts thread, with adjustments and conversion to partial something.
Another variant of Redhook ESB. For this one I replaced the pale ale with Maris Otter. For a couple of years I imagined pairing Roger Maris with an otter with a large branch, but when I found the Mel Ott stamp, I changed the pairing.
Would be interested to learn how your Innis and Gunn clone turned out and how close to the original it was. Learned today that they use Super Styrians in most of their beers almost exclusively.
