Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™
Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™
Highly flocculant top-fermenting strain with rich, malty character and balanced fruitiness. This strain is so flocculant that additional aeration and agitation is needed. An excellent strain for cask-conditioned ales.
Notes
Single Infusion mash at 68C for 60 mins. Hop schedule is attempting to get Goldings flavour, with Cascade aroma layered over top.

This beer is amazing. I tasted a week after bottling and was blown away. By far the best beer I have ever brewed. Well balanced, excellent malt flavours and hop bitterness, flavour and aroma.

Used 0.15lbs black patent and Wyeast 1968. This gave perfect red colour and great flavour. Used Gambrinus ESB and Gambrinus Munich.
