British ESB

Tomorrow I'm brewing a British ESB.  The yeast starter is about to begin.  I will be using White Labs WLP013, London Ale Yeast.  This will be a 10 gallon batch with 12 pounds English Maris Otter and 1.5 pounds of Simpsons CaraMalt.  It will be hopped with 2 oz of UK Kent Goldings at 60, 1 oz at 15, and 1 oz at flame out. I will be doing a single step at 155 for an hour.  At 10 minutes I'll be adding 1/4 tsp of Super Moss.


We had a lot of parties and went through all four kegs the past couple of weeks, so I'm out of beer!  I have one secondary of Baltic Porter and two secondarys of Alt lagering in the basement fridge.  Plus I have an American Pale in a secondary and a SMASH American Pale made with home grown hops in a primary.  Need more beer!
