Notes

Using Wells Bombardier mash schedule and yeast.

Hop schedule is Fullers.

Efficiency all whacked out on Brewersfriend..and yeast did not attenuate as much as I hoped. ABV worked out perfectly for schedule...right between Fullers ESB cask and bottle...5.7-5.8%.

I did the aroma/whirlpool hops in a hop sock and squeezed it. Out of the fermenter it looked and smelled amazing. No gelatin necessary...super duper clear.

I will definitely be exploring this recipe and tweaking it a little bit. This is probably the closest I have ever come to a Fuller's ESB tasting beer. This beer has that Fullers ESB characteristic butterscotch type flavor I have never been able to reproduce in a homebrew until now. I find it super interesting the Bedford strain of yeast produced this vs WLP002 or 1968 which is supposed to be the "Fullers yeast".

In any event I will be increasing the crystal malt and adding some darker crystal to get more Fuller's ESB color and sweetness. I will also be switching to torrified wheat to simply my inventory and I am standardizing on that as a wheat addition to recipes. i will continue to use a blend of Marris Otter and Breiss Full Pint to reduce cost and increase DP in the mash.
