Very good!! Lol!! :D =D>
Not a cricketer, love me rugby, so had to think about it a bit plus the amount of beer and shots playing trivial pursuit! Haha!

Anyway, I'm sure the ESB is gonna be good!

4600g Maris Otter
270g Caramalt
270g Pale Crystal
270g Torrefied Wheat

55g Challenger @ First Wort
40g Progress @10mins
40g EKG @ Flame Out, 30 mins steep

Fullers Yeast, Mash @66C for 60mins

Water treated to Grahams 'Bitter' profile

This is not a million miles away from my House Best Bitter (the main difference being the use of Progress which I have not used before) which I had planned to brew over xmas anyway, so really looking forward to comparing Jim's ESB to a beer I know well.

Fingers crossed for a smooth brew day! :D

Need to place an order, I need all the malts, the EKG and the yeast.

Not decided what yeast to use yet. I'm going to twist the recipe in one simple way, by mixing Challenger and Progress at both hopping steps rather than using Challenger at 60 and Progress at 15. But keep the EKG at flameout the same.

I think the yeast decision is a big one! I used Nottingham in my recent Challenger/Progress brew, and I think another yeast would improve it, to my taste. Bit more estery, methinks.

Bottled my batch of this yesterday. Quite pale in colour, sample tasted great! Certainly a 'firm' bitterness!! :D
