My second batch is an ESB. Been in primary for 5 days now.
Malt: 7lbs Light malt extract syrup
Specialty Grains: 3/4 lbs British light crystal malt
1/4 lbs Special B Malt
Hops: 1 oz Northdown @ boil
1/2 oz Fuggle @ 30 min into boil
1/2 oz Fuggle @ 50 min into boil
Yeast: White labs British Ale yeast
Any words of wisdom with this recipe? I was gonna follow the same protocol I did with my first batch...2 weeks in primary, bottle, 2 weeks conditioning, begin consumption.
Been contemplating getting a carboy for secondary, mainly just because I would like to see the product. Primary is an opaque bucket.
Man this is fun. What should I brew next? My first batch was kinda my own creation..and weird. Its a dark amber ale, with a bunch of hops. Really sweet beginning with a dry, bitter finish. I dunno, I love it...probably because I made it. My buddy tried it and loved it. Dont think the wife likes it too much but shes not much of a hop head like her worst half.
