Notes

This is a scaled down version of https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1143213/james-s-esb, my friend James's favorite beer.

Ferment at 69 °F, then raise the temperature to 72 °F for a diacetyl rest.

Carbonate to taste, to anywhere between 1.0 volumes CO2 (for something like a cask ale) up to 2.0 volumes

The water adjuncts are obviously specific to my local water.
