Notes: #ESB3
Gold medal winner in the Premium Bitters category at the Great British Beer Festival Homebrew competition 2023.
Bronze medal at the UK national homebrew competition 2025, British Isles Amber.
## Malt
This bitter is made from an English base malt with medium crystal, and a small amount of wheat and chocolate malts. It also has added brewing sugar and Golden Syrup to increase the alcohol content while retaining drinkability.
## Hops
Harlequin has been used to give a medium bitterness. Then a combination of Challenger and Goldings have been used for flavour/aroma.
## Yeast
The Fullers London ESB yeast (Wyeast 1968) has been used here to give a malty flavour and will leave some sweetness. |

Notes: *The efficiency has been reduced to %70 due to usual decrease in efficiency that comes with brewing very high gravity beers. We can adjust this as needed.
*In regards to mash water volume, while many people go with 1.5 qts/lb of malt, we have always had success with a lower rate of 1 qt/lb. This may need to be adjusted.
*We have targeted a pre-boil volume of 16 bbls, but if evaporation is greater than this, let me know and we can adjust.
*Super moss/Whirlfloc have different usage rates. add at at rate that has been successful for Mare Island.
*Zinc usage rate has been increased due to increased gravity.
*Ferment at 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Ferment until final gravity doesn't change for at least 3 days in a row.
-Perform diacetyl test (notes to follow) daily until there is no diacetyl detected.
*After the beer is done fermenting, and passes a diacetyl test, drop the temperature of the tank to 35 degrees F. Allow to condition until the beer tastes ready.
*Hops can be substituted based on availability, though please consult with us before making substitution, as some varieties will not be appropriate to style.
*Hop quantity is based on Alpha acid indicated and a pre-boil volume of 16 bbls.
*Treat water as Mare Island does. |

Notes: Start immersion chiller at 190 F after 20 min. Hop stand.
Great Hoppy Wheat, Think Little Sumpin, 80 Acre, Gumballhead.
Re-brew in January 2, 2017 Last batch was great but stability was bad. Started tasting aged at 40 days. Wondering if bottled up to much yeast or wheat beers just are not very stable or light color beers without crystal malts are not very stable?
used Rahr 2 row,Briess Red Wheat, Briess Carmel Vienna
Missed mash temp. 75 minutes at 150 F.
Water Treatment
Sparge and mash water (Fox Lake City well water very hard) Home RO water, added 1 tsp of Calcium Chloride, and 1 tbsp pH 5.2 from Five Star per 5 gallons, 6.5 gallons of mash infusion water 6.5 gallons of sparge
Boil kettle water treatment added for 6 gallon at end of boil
Home RO water plus
Gypsum CaSO4 5.0 grams
Calcium Chloride CaCl2 1.7 grams
Epsom Salt MgSO4 1.2 grams
Canning Salt NaCl 0.5 grams
whirl floc with immersion chiller with 5 minutes of the boil left.
yeast substitute cal ale WLP001 and dry english ale WLP007 4 and 6 months old. two step starter 1.4 liters then 2.4 liters. two days each in 1.035 wort with yeast nutrient and 30 seconds pure oxygen.
Fermented 5 days at 65 F then raised to 71 F with water bath aquarium heater. 1/16/2017 Finishing gravity is 1.011( OG was 1.054). Dry hoped on 1/16/2016. will bottle in 5-8 days. Bottled on 1/24/2017 Huge nose of dry hops.
Tasted on 2/5/2017 Super Bowl Sunday. Awesome hop nose and character the taste. True citra light orange hop flavor. Hop flavor over powers much of the malt flavor. Tasted next to a Three Floyds Gumball Head. Much more dry hop character in the Modern Times Fourtune Island home-brew recipe. Closer to Zombie Dust with the strong dry hop smell amount of hop resin changing the mouth feel of the beer. Slick and slight oil sheen mouth feel. This recipe got a lot of hop character into the bottle without much bitterness. No back of the throat bite or harshbitterness.
Will drink one bottle every other day to see how this hop flavor and aroma hold up. |
