Esb hop additions

[casabroker]

Any ideas on esb hop addition times. I have ekg and northern brewer, also willamette that would be appropriate. Should the hop all be on the backend? Aroma is not important correct??

I make a lot of ESBs and NB and EKG are frequently my hops. I FWH the NB and add the EKG with 5min to go. You don't have to go crazy with the late addition hops but I think they are important. I have also made an ESB SMaSH with all EKG and that was very good.

ESB is a broad category. Is this ESB for drinking or entering into a contest?

Drinking for sure...

the 5gal ESB I brewed had 2.5oz of EKG for boil and 1oz added at flameout. turned out great
