Looks great just like that to me. A cool hoppy ESB sorta thing, right?

Happy brewing, can't wait to hear how it turns out.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for Seymour. I've tweaked it a little; left out the chocolate malt, as I thought the crystal and caramunich might give enough caramel type flavour, and I've cut down the Admiral to just the last 5 mins, and flame out. I ususally let my wort lie in the boiler for about an hr, after I've cooled it, just to help the protiens fall to the bottom. I've noticed doing this gives a little bitterness, and with Admiral being a high bittering hop, it might have been too much for what I require. It's mashing now as I type. Off to enjoy a pint of homebrew, just for good luck purposes, of course, :lol:
