Notes: First attempt at one of my favourite beers. The ESB from Hargreaves Hill is delicious, it's in the ESB style, i.e. balanced malt and hops, but with new world hop flavours. A traditional ESB would use Fuggles or East Kent Goldings hops. I'm aiming for balanced malt and hops bitterness, with floral aromas from Galaxy. I also had some cascade so I added a small amount of that. The HH ESB probably uses use Wyeast 1056. I'm using a traditional Nottingham Ale yeast.

Notes: 2nd effort with increased hops at 0 minutes with wort cooled to 80c before start of additions for more flavor and negligible IBU's.
Recipe adjusted for bottling i.e. OG left 5 points below required to allow for extra provided by bottling sugar. Same applies to ABV - adjusted for extra 0.5% at bottling.
Maris Otter LME.
Steep/mash in 2.5 litres of water at 66c+. Added first wort hops for last 20 minutes of steep but not in bag .
No lid for 30 minute hopstand - helped cool with ice additions while adding hops starting at 80c and every drop of 5c of hopstand - last added around 65c - then into fermenter with ice.

Notes: Use 24 oz mesquite chili honey (Lone Star Bee Co. Fiery Sweet Mesquite honey) and 3 lbs TX wildflower honey. No boil, just warm water to mix in honey and yeast nutrient. Use staggered nutrient additions or whatever nutrient regimen works for your meads.
If not enough chili flavor, either up the ratio of the two honeys (either 1:1 or 2:1 instead of 1:2), or could try steeping some mesquite-smoked jalapeño and/or habanero chilies in the mead. Or keep one gallon as is, add chilies to second gallon, then blend to taste... |

Split batch into two 5.5gal batches. Using new thermowells and heating blankets for first time to keep top and bottom beers at same temp during fermentation. Both set to 20C, ferm chamber set to 15C, but changed to 13C after about 3 days, as this seems a better target temp.
Top OG = 1.044
Bototom OG = 1.042
March 26, 2015
Moved top beer to secondary glass carboy.
Top FG = 1.006 ABV = 4.99%

Moved bottom beer to secondary glass carboy.

Notes: WOW I usually do not like wheat beers but WOW! This is taste amazing. Very simular to blue moon but with a heavier mouth feel and hint of honey in the finish. I will brew this one again!
I cracked A bottle for a few friends while I was having a little beer tasting party at my house and watching the Portland Timbers mash FC Dallas for the 3rd time this year. The beer was not yet carbanated but had a very distinct honey flaver and honestly tasted just like blue moon. |
