Based on a variety of recipes I found online (including https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/english-pale-ale-esb-by-aha-members-brew-gentlemen-brewing-co/ and http://www.fermentarium.com/homebrewing/brewing-beer/how-to-make-an-esb-extra-specialstrong-bitter/ , among others). Using some of my home (central Iowa)-grown hops for the Cascade and some of the Fuggles, so the IBUs are a total guess... Substituting Northern Brewer (which I have on hand) for British Challenger hops.
