Ingredients
7.4 lbs. (3.4 kg) Maris Otter pale ale malt
13 oz. (0.37 kg) German Munich malt
1.25 lbs. (0.57 kg) UK brown malt
1.4 lbs. (0.65 kg) UK crystal (65 L) /crystal med
10 oz. (0.28 kg) UK chocolate malt
5.6 AAU Fuggles hops (60 mins.) (1.4 oz./40 g of 4% alpha acids)
2.4 AAU Fuggles hops (10 mins.) (0.6 oz./17 g of 4% alpha acids)
Wyeast 1968 (London ESB Ale) (1 qt./1 L yeast starter)
3 4 cup corn sugar (for priming)

Water treatment: RO water treated with 1/4 tsp 10% Phosphoric acid per 5 gallon of water,
1 tsp CaClin mash
Step by Step

Two or three days before brew day, make the yeast starter, aerating the wort thoroughly (preferably with
oxygen) before pitching the yeast.

On brew day, mash in the malt at 153 F (67 C) in 17 qts. (16 L) of water. Hold at this temperature for 60 minutes. Raise mash temperature to 170 F (77 C), hold for 5 minutes then recirculate. Run off wort and sparge with water hot enough to keep the grain bed around 170 F (77 C). Collect 6.5 gallons (25 L) of wort. (Check that final runnings do not drop below SG 1.010.) Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding hops at times indicated in the ingredients list. Ferment at 66 F (19 C).
