WLP002 is not possible for me, at least right now. Not a single store here has that yeast on stock, or have had like past year or so.

Fuller´s ESB in the bottle is 5.9% and IBUs are said to be 35 Before i started playing with waters my hops didn´t work at all like they were in the recipe, thats why i went over with numbers. I have given previously samples out for tasting and result was pretty much like my own. Samples go out...

I will try to give it some more time. but sadly i am not that good at waiting;)

https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1624101/fullers-esb-clone OG was 1.059 and FG 1.010 For next batch i will change yeast. If that doesn´t help i will add chocolate malt. If that doesn´t help i will adjust water little bit, sulfate to chloride ratio...

Similarities between Fuller´s ESB and my clone started with color and ended to color :) . End product is decent beer, nowhere near ESB. Too dry and too bitter. Original ESB has nice little sweetness from malts and hint of bitterness from hops. Mine has absolutely zero sweetness and lots of...

Color wise result is almost good

Only if i had nice equipments like that.

Started preps for bottling day which is tomorrow.

I do update my recipes to match exactly what i have done, if i have somehow done differently for some reason. Also i have started to keep my own brewsheet where i try to collect as much data as possible.

Yeah. As i don´t have RO water analyzes in hand i had to trust what other have used. Anyway my target profile was looking like this: Ca2 80, Mg+2 10, Na+ 20, Cl- 60, So4-2 180 and Hco3- 0 Used these to reach that target profile 6.2g Gypsum 2.9g Epsom salt 6.1g 36% Calcium chloride Used...

Don´t want to start new topic. I got fed up my tap water and bought cheap RO equipment. Now water has no taste and no smell. Reading from here and other sites now water chemistry is somewhat easier than with water you have no clear knowledge what it has. Didn´t want to start this water chemistry...

Spruce tip IPA Yesterday and today

Not today but yesterday...

First taste(6 of those) Taste is very bitter, more than expected. Ok, this one needs little more time in the bottle so it will change little bit. Maybe need to try some other hops next year, like chinook maybe. First batch/yeast that reached expected FG
