Bob Dog ESB
Brewed: 05/21/2017 Kegged: 06/08/2017
My newest Local Homebrew Shop does a promotion every month with a local brewery. Each month they put together a 5 gallon clone kit of one of the brewery's recipes and sell it. A portion of the proceeds go to a local charity.
In May of 2017, I discovered this fact on facebook. I wanted to brew that weekend, but had not decided what to brew. I thought I might as well try out what the LHBS was selling.
Of course, I've never met a recipe I wouldn't tweak and this one was no exception.
I added in more hops for bitterness and moved the EKG's later into the boil to get more hop flavor out of those. I even moved some of them to dry-hop in the keg.

Recipe Notes
Started out as a
kit for Placer ESB from BOB, but decided to modify the hop schedule quite a bit
after seeing the bitterness.
Gypsum should give the water profile:
Ca=134;
Mg=8; Na=21; SO4=296; Cl=23; HCO3=200
Based on Beer Smith's Denver Water
starting profile.
Mash and boil as instructed.
Chill as close to 60 as
possible and pitch yeast. Let ferment for 2 weeks.
Keg and carbonate.
