I have brewed the ESB a couple of times. My first attempt was a miss due to the heat in my basement (we had builders coming in and out). But the last time was a big hit. I used the Wyeast ESB yeast taken from the Fullers Brewery in London. Good pint. I have not tried the Irish Red, I will put it on my list. <br><br>I did crack open the NB Grateful Dead Guy ale the other night, a great kit, and a great pint. I saved the yeast as the Pacman yeast is only on limited release. I also completed a batch of 115th Dream from NB today, I could not believe the 1lb of hops in this thing. I am keeping a close eye as I am concerned of blowout given the 1090 OG. <br>Thanks for reading, I love to brew and have fun researching the British Ales. The London Pride is coming along really well and I recommend trying it. Thanks again Donovan, thanks for the recommendations. I have brewed the ESB a couple of times.
