For my second brew ever, I'm going for a ESB... or was hoping to at least
The origional recipie I got from somewhere was:
--
6 # pale LME
1 # crystal malt
.5 # victory
1.5 kent goldings @ 60 min
.5 kent goulding @ 20 min
1 oz fuggles @ 5 min
Wyeast#1968
--
But, It turns out my local home brew shop has a very limited selection of specialty grains, no crystal or victory. So I started taking a stab at what might be ok together and got:
6 # pale LME
2 # amber DME
1 # english 2-row
1.5 kent goldings @ 60 min
.5 kent goulding @ 20 min
1 oz fuggles @ 5 min
Wyeast#1968

Does is even sound good? Its not really an ESB anymore, but thats ok. Any subtractions or additions I should make? More/less hops? different yeast? The only other grains there that looked like they would fit with this style are barley & chocolate. Please let me know, I'm a compleate noob at this!
Thanks in advance!
