Brew No.40 Rate: 0 5/10 Malt Miller Kit (I added fruit) ABV: 6.4% Yeast: S-04 Attenuation: 75% My attenuation: 79% Aroma: Neutral. Do differently: Recipe: OG: 1055 FG: 1012 ABV: 5.6% Achieved: OG: 1058 FG: 1012 ABV: 6.4% Notes: - Robs English ESB. A classic British ESB, with lots of malt taste and classically hopped with East Kent Goldings. - I swapped hops for Styrian Golding and Fuggles as used the East Kent for my next Fullers 1845 brew. - Also swapped yeast for S-04 for same reason - Added fruit to a make a change. Thinking Badger Cranberry Poacher which uses damsons. - The 90g Fuggles as bittering is high but with fruit might balance. - Got A LOT BETTER after 4 months. Do again: No.
