So I'm thinking of doing an ESB with the ingredients I have on hand and was hoping for some advice regarding the hop schedule. Recipe at the moment looks like this:
21L batch
~30IBU
1.5kg munich LME
1.25 LDME
0.25kg dextrose
0.2kg caraaroma
10g magnum at 60 min
20g fuggles at 30 min
20g EKG at 30 min
20g fuggles at 10 min
20g EKG at 10 min
Wyeast 1968 London ale.
I also have about 30g of challenger hops that have been in the freezer about 6 months. Would they be better as my 60 min addition? Any other thoughts? Extract/grain bill doesn't have much room to move as I'm basically throwing all my remaining ingredients in the brew, although I could drop the dex for a bit more LDME.
I've never done an ESB before so any help would be great.
