Right, this will be my recipe for the brewalong, I've picked up some Torrified Wheat and EKG Pellets locally so have amended my original recipe.

Certainly going to be a hoppy little bugger!

Ordered my ingredients today for the ESB

[guypettigrew]

My kit's arrived from The malt Miller. Wonderful--no weighing out. Just bung it all in!

Only difficulty will be holding on to the kit for a month until October 24th.

Noticed the kit on MM today oddly enough. Will be picking one up once Ive sorted what else I need for the order!

[bquiggerz]

I honestly can't wait to do my first full volume all grain brew! Never tried an ESB though so no idea what to expect to be honest.

[kearnage]

I'm in. Got it ordered last night. This should be a good one to enjoy over the festive season.

[Jim]

Great to see so many people getting involved in this one!

Nice! Though also slightly scary.
