ESB stands for Extra Special Bitter, but don't let the name fool you—this brew is a harmonious blend of flavors that will have you racing for another.

Your journey begins with 6 lbs. of Pilsen Dry Malt Extract, the backbone of your brew, providing a smooth, malty canvas. The addition of 1 lb. of Caramel 60L Malt introduces a sweet, toasty character, while 8 oz. of Red Malt adds a subtle, nutty depth. To round out the malt profile, 2 oz. of Black Malt contribute a hint of roasted complexity, painting your ale a light brown hue that’s as inviting as a warm autumn evening.

The hops are where the magic truly happens. With 1 oz. of Willamette Hops, you’ll infuse your brew with floral and spice notes, reminiscent of a blooming English garden. Complementing this, 1 oz. of East Kent Hops brings a touch of honey and citrus, creating a balanced bitterness that dances on your palate without overpowering it.

To ensure your brew is as clear as a bell, the Yeast Energizer and Irish Moss Combo Packet work behind the scenes, while the Lallemand Nottingham Dry Yeast takes center stage, fermenting your creation into a masterpiece of flavor and aroma.

With the Brown Derby ESB Beer Kit, you’re not just brewing beer; you’re crafting an experience. Each bottle is a testament to your skill and passion, a liquid symphony that captures the essence of English brewing tradition.
