I am with the 'avoide corn' if you're able camp. Not something I think of when I think of Brit ales, and more so early US styles.

i make a schwartzbier with corn lol...its really good.

lol i did! again and again and again! its one of my best sellers! i have a batch(without corn) carbed waiting to keg right now!

I make a decent ESB using a recipe from David Heath's YouTube Channel

I think @Josh Hughes has made an ESB based on a BYO recipe. I hope it's not the one with flaked maze because I can't see that in an ESB, especially at 15% of the grist.

My favorite yeasts for an ESB are:
1) Imperial Darkness A10
2) Fermentis S04
3) WYeast 1968 London ESB

I substituted Northern Brewer for Northdown but, that's because I had some on hand.

I too created a recipe following David's guide, came out amazing, I really must brew it again!

 

[Craigerrr]

FYI, I used the Lyles syrup in mine that David swears by. I assume that the flaked maise would be a substitute for the syrup. I need to alter my recipe from partial mash back to all grain, once I do I will post it here, if you are interested, great, if not, all good

I like door #1

So do i but i don´t do dry hopping so i need to figure how to replace that

I have to be honest, I didn't look at the recipes, but dry hop? ESB is a malt forward style, dry hop shouldn't be part of an ESB in my opinion. I would be stunned if Fullers said they dry hopped their ESB

I want to do another one. Mine isn't a true Fullers, but I liked it when I made it the first time.
When I bottled, I did use a little wheat, so you might need to modify that part.
Mine was 84.3% Maris Otter, 7.7% Crisp 70SRM Crystal, 3.8% White Wheat, 1.9% Victory, and 2.3% Brown Sugar. I used EKG and Fuggle early additions for 44.4IBUs and WLP002. That yeast doesn't attenuate worth a shit which is why the sugar was in there.

Sounds something like my Mutt dark lager, and I like that too.

the recipe from Fullers does call for .3 oz dry hop so not much but its in there
also calls for a secondary

I mean... scharzbier is already really good. I never thought about adding corn to it... and the German ancestry would probably disown me, leaving me with the Brit & Croatian.

damn. now you have me thinking.
Don't do that.

It is very good. I call it a black lager but potatoes tomatoes right?

Dry hopping was in that newer recipe, but i started creating recipe based on that David Heath´s video

Mine probably wasn't a true one for another reason as well. I use spring water for my beer.

Syrup is just for reminder for me, going to use dark bread syrup but didn´t have that on the list
Bread syrup

I’ve never heard of dark bright syrup. I had to look it up. Found bread recipes for it, pretty cool. Then there are some intriguing brown cheese that y’all eat with it now I’m down that rabbit hole.
Thanks
