Extra Special Bitter Brew Day
It’s an absolutely beautiful, cool day outside today. I picked a perfect day to brew my next batch which will be an Extra Special Bitter. This is a style that I have never brewed before. The only commercial experience that I have had with this style is Fuller’s ESB. I’m excited to see how it turns out! I am also trying out a new yeast, which is Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley Ale. The recipe below is from Brewing Classic Styles.
