KingBrianI's recipe "Common Room ESB" with lighter crystal subbed in because I already had it. (Next time would like the darker crystal). I highly recommend his recipes, they are all amazing and delicious, especially if you want to take a step back from the hop-splosion that is so trendy and appreciate what malt flavors have to offer.
ESB Tasting Notes:
Very smooth. Smells bready and malty with a very faint floral component. Taste is initially dominated by beady, biscuity flavors, malty but not sweet. Then rounds out with smooth (FWH) bitterness.

My "Weedwhacker Wheat", a very slight tweaking of the popular American Wheat recipe brewed with WLP 2565 yeast that can be found in the recipe database here on HBT. So crisp and delicious.

Pliny the Elder Clone and my House IPA.
What's your pliny recipe? That looks good!
OG: 1.072
FG: 1.008
6 gal batch
14.5 lbs 2 Row
10 oz CaraPils
5 oz C40
0.75 lb Corn Sugar
Mash @ 150ºF for 60 minutes
3 oz Columbus 14.4% (90 min)
0.75 oz Columbus 14.4% (45 min)
1 oz Simcoe 13.2% (30 min)
2.5 oz Simcoe & 1 oz Centennial (flameout)
1.6L WLP001
Dry hop #1: 1.5 oz Columbus, 1 oz Simcoe, 1 oz Centennial & 0.75 oz Amarillo (7 days)
Dry hop #2: 0.75 oz Columbus, 0.75 Simcoe, 0.5 oz Centennial & 0.5 oz Amarillo (5 days)
How'd that turn out? It looks pretty in-line with what I want to try soon.
I have to rely on my memory from a few months ago, but it seems pretty close to the real Pliny. I think I actually based my recipe on the one you posted on your blog from late 2012.
