HI all,
Last night I saw that this weeks AHS 21st anniversary recipe recipe is the English Pale Ale, so I bought it on a whim.
However, I am a big fan of Alaskan ESB and Redhook ESB and I am wondering if these ingredients can be easily enough retrofitted, perhaps with some different/additional hops, to make a good ESB.
The kit comes with:
Specialty malts: Crystal 75L
Featured hops: Northdown, Kent Golding
O.G. = 1.051
F.G. = 1.014
Approximately 4.8% ABV
Approximately 171 Cal / 12 oz
Makes 5 US gallons
Fermentable Sugars:
Extract: 7 lb Liquid Malt Extract, 1 lb Specialty Grains
No idea the amount of hops, and I did not buy yeast yet.
I was thinking of going 1 OZ of Cascade for a full boil and using the Northdown and Kent Golding for a late addition and dry hop. I'd prefer to use US-05 since I have plenty (but would US-04 fit the style better?)
Any other ideas?
thanks!
