I just did an ESB a couple of days ago as follows:
1000 grams Joe White Signature Ale
3000 grams raw wheat (Scout variety) coarse flour
100 grams dark crystal
100 grams Bairds brown malt
20 grams roast barley
About 70 grams of Dwarf (tetraploid) Cluster for bittering
200 grams (sifted down to 100 grams) Golding at 64C as it cooled
Step mash 50C, 60C, 63C, 70C. Started with 20 litres of water and no sparge.
20
minute gentle boil
15 litres at 1062 plus about 1.5 litres extra that I used for a starter
Fermenting half with S04 and half with Wy1318
My recipe works out to 150 grams of dark crystal per a 23 litre batch, which is what it has in common with Smurto's recipe on page 1. I tried to use all English type spec malts. The Golding had a phenomenal tangy apricot aroma. Grew the hops and wheat myself. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Don't need a long boil because it's ale malt, and malt only makes up a small percentage of the grist, so likelihood of dms is low.
I'm planning to grind the flour finer and try a debranching rest at 40C to see if I can improve yield
Edit: Temp at which I added Golding hops.
