Blockbuster ESB
Ale - English Strong (Extra Special) BAll Grain
Brewer's Notes
While the Cluster in there is a bit of a b@stardisation, I'm going to stand by it. Mash at preferred temp and follow usual regime for brew. I'd suggest a liquid yeast if you have a suitable one - I'm just using S-04 for now.
EDIT: Renamed 'Blockbuster ESB' in reference to the blockbuster used to counterweight the grain baga s it drained.
