G'day folks
Just wanted some feedback on this ESB that I am planning. It's based loosely on Fullers' ESB:
3.5kg Maris Otter
.45 kg crystal 80L
.20kg wheat malt
35g Target @ 9% AAU 60 mins.
25g Challenger @ 7.9% AAU 15 mins.
20g Northdown 6.9% AAU 5 mins.
.20 kg molasses (not sure whether this will make it too 'Old Peculier' like but I think I need some base sugar in here)
London Ale III yeast (Wyeast 1318).
37.6 IBUs 26.7 EBC
The yeast is probably not ideal but I picked this one up half price earlier this year at a HBS clear-out sale and want to try it out. I'm not sure whether the molasses is right here, either, but I think I need some invert or similar sugar. Also, is the hopping schedule about right?
I'd be interested in your views....
Cheers
Neil
