ESB

"Programmer's Elbow" from Brewing Classic Styles. I'm doing the all-grain version. I brewed this once before about a year ago. The brew shop didn't have London ESB yeast, so I went with S-04 this time around.

Recipe

Grain bill:

  • 12.25 lbs English pale
  • 0.5 lb Crystal 15 (brew store doesn't have 15, so I used half 10 and half 20)
  • 0.25 lb Crystal 120

Mash & Boil:

  • Mash at 152 F for 60 minutes
  • Boil 60 minutes

Boil additions:

  • 2 oz. Kent Goldings (60 min)
  • 1 oz. Kent Goldings (0 min)

Fermenter additions:

  • 2 packets Safale S-04

Price

  • Base malt: $16
  • Specialty grain: $1.13
  • Yeast: $6.10
  • Hops: $6.06
  • Total: $29.29

Brewing day

  • Mash with 19 qts
  • Sparge with 7 gallons between mashout and the HLT (lost a couple quarters in HLT dead space)
  • Boil volume: about 8.5 gallons
  • OG: 1.063
  • Just under 5 gallons into the fermenter
  • Fermented in bucket #3

Bottling day

  • FG: 1.010
  • 7.0% ABV
  • 42 12-ounce bottles
