This is my first All Grain. I did a muli-step mash,30 min. @ 104* 30 min @ 140* and then 30min. @ 158, sparged with 170* about 5 Gallons. OG was 1064! Used White Labs English Ale Yeast. We'll see how it turns out... Tasted a little too much like corn mash when immature, but has now aged into a very nice ESB.The corn is now just a light sweet note but enough to mask the malt and hops.
