Notes

This is my best guess at LeftHand's sawtooth (an ESB). Per the brewer:
The grist bill consists of 17% crystal malt (15L, 40L and 75L- use twice as much 15L and 40L as 75L),
7.5% Munich malt (10L),
we add a smattering of malted wheat (2%) for head retention and an even smaller smattering of black malt for color (WELL below 1%).
Hops used are Magnum for bittering and Golding and Fuggles for flavor. Cascade is used as a finishing hop.
Mash in at 67C.
It will be difficult to reproduce this beer because we use a proprietary strain of yeast that is not available anywhere.
Its parentage is California Ale yeast but it is very different at this point. Ferment at 20C.
