The primary grist for the ESB style is typically Pale 2-Row. I substuted Marris Otter for part of the Pale malt for mouth feel. Crystal 60L provides body and color. The Munich malt is for flavor, aroma, and sweetness.
I adjusted the ingredients to nail the style 8C. Extra Special Bitter while using even pounds of grain and ounces of hops to avoid waste.
I usually use White Labs wlp002 English Ale Yeast, but here it calls for WLP005 British Ale Yeast due to it's slightly higher attenuation needed to hit the FG number.
I substituted Willmette hops for Fuggles this time because my local shop was out of Fuggles.
There is quite a bit of lattitude with efficiency, you can hit the numbers from 67% to 80%.
Batch size is 5.5 gallons to allow for trub loss.
