ESB

Of the beers that I have brewed, this is by far the most disappointing. This supposed ESB came out more like a weak American Pale Ale. Its body is full, but it is missing the Bitter part of Extra Special Bitter.

Grain Bill:

• 8.9 lb English Pale Ale LME (3.5L)
• 0.5 lb Crystal (15 L)
• 0.25 lb Crystal (20 L)
• 0.5 oz Styr Goldings @ 60 min 5% AA
• 0.5 oz Styr Goldings @ 0 min 5% AA

Yeast:

• Wyeast 1968 London ESB

Mash in at 155 F, 60 min.
Add hops at noted times.
Added yeast at 60F.
OG and FG were not recorded.


Next time, I need to make sure that I add the last hops at the end of the boil and not forget them. Dry hopped for 14 days.
