Carafa Type 2 (de-husked) is a top quality spring barley that's roasted sans husk to keep the astringent qualities of this malt to a minimum. Great in smaller amounts as a color addition, use this in most any dark beer to add great coffee and cocoa flavor and color.

Bramling Cross has a very distinctive 'American' aroma. It is often used as a general-purpose kettle hop for a small proportion of the hop grist. However, the variety has also been used to provide a special fruity character in traditional ales, adding blackcurrant and lemon notes. If used as a late hop or dry hop, the affect on the final beer flavor can be very interesting. This is an under-appreciated hop that affords the brewer considerable scope for experiment

Average Alpha: 5-7%

A great cask conditioned ale strain that produces distinctly malty beers, Wyeast London ESB Ale 1968 Yeast is an extremely flocculent strain that finishes sweeter than most based on it's attenuation level being lower. You will need to rest this beer due to the diacetyl, but after the rest you should be able to produce a bright beer with no filtration. Ales produced with Wyeast London ESB Ale 1968 Yeast tend to be fruity with the fruitiness increased as the fermentation temp increases, 70-74°F (21-23° C).
