Notes: This has turned out really well with a nice malty/toasty flavour coming through from the Amber malt. It is well balance with some hop flavour and aroma but this is secondary to the malt. I think next time I may back of on the amber malt a bit and go for 150g instead of 300g but I had some I wanted to use up.

For my taste I may up the IBUs next time but that is because I like a really bitter beer. This is probably closer to the suggested style.

I used yeast cultured from Young's London Special Ale which is reportedly the same as Wyeast 1768. The slightly better than expected attenuation could have been because of the 20 minute rest at 62oC before raising the temp to 68oC. I then mashed out at 75oC.

It's not a million miles away from something like Old Speckled Hen, but with a bit more malt and less sweetness.

Very nice!

Notes: Roughly an original Bass Pale clone. BYO "5 British Ale Clone Recipes"
Went a little more complex on the hops
Changed 1275 Thames Valley to 1318 London Ale III then to 1098 British
Water adjustments were minimally adjusted. Also calls for chalk addition
Option to remove flaked corn and replace with one more lb of two row and 10 oz of dextrose
Reduced flaked corn from 2lb to 1lb and added 1.25 lb pale
Changed crystal 60 to crystal 30

Notes: Brewing our first simple, old-school ESB. Probably the most traditional beer we've ever made, actually. Single infusion for 60 minutes at 152 F.

11/21/15: Brew day for this. Just finished our mash and now collecting. Pretty much hit target gravity.

Notes: Pitch all 22 packs of London ESB yeast.

Attempt to grind fairly fine (use rice hulls if needed)

The mash is intentionally thin in order to encourage higher attenuation. Take this into account with strike temp. It may need to be 1-2 degrees cooler than normal.
