GI, do not use candy sugar for this brew. Trust me on this.
I have a recipe from BYOBRAAH. I reckon the recipe Big D posted is the same but I will check tonight.

According to the "sorcerers zymurgy database"

Fullers ESB uses:

Pale malt, crystal malt and flaked maize.

Kettle hops
Target, challenger and goldings

Dry hop
goldings

O.G 1.053-1.054
colour 31 ebc

Don't know how accurate this is but I hope it helps.

Yep, agree not to worry about the candi sugar. The little bit of roasted malt really helps this brew. I did the one from the CAMRA book which looks to be the same as what bigd posted but substitued some munich for the maize .... its under Cranium ESB in the recipe section.

Was a nice brew but I have another at the moment where I upped the munich to 800g to try and get more malty flavour. I chucked in a bunch of progress at the end to get rid of them ... must say I prefer the golding in this one.

A tasty brew to replicate!
