Dry ESB
Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • All Grain • 19.50 L
Very very dry version of ESB with more than 10% of alcohols. I am sure that the candy sugar contributed most for this dryness.

Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

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
1-step infusion mashing. This beer tasted extremely dry, quite out of the style of ESB, but became one of the most popular beer I brewed. Brewed on 1/5/09. The OG was 1.060, the FG was 1.002. Bottled on 2/16/09.

After brewing this beer, I reused the yeast to the "London Pride" clone. The latter beer became very dry. It seems that the yeast has changed its characteristic to be highly alcohol tolerant. Very interesting. The beer tastes fine, and has been very popular.
