Looks like an interesting beer.  Let us know what those hops are like.

Yeah, it was supposed to have Carabohemian malt but owing to the fact it was sunday I subbed caraaroma as it was the closest grain at hand, looking forward to the taste test as it was a bit of a mission getting the hops, lucky I knew someone coming over for Christmas that could bring them in for me

Making an ESB today, with a dash of Special B, hops are a mix of whatever is left in the workshop, green bullet, cascade and motueka... Should be a cracker!

Homemade Special B..?

 

I have been looking for Special B and Victory to try... but Biscuit malt has been doing itself proud in a few beers lately.

I think Brewers Coop are carrying Victory and Special B? Pretty awesome ;)

They had victory and special roast when I was last there - no spec B though.

They sell caraaroma in place of spec B

They stopped selling Special B I believe, or it was not being imported any more.  I scored a couple of kg's beforehand and been sitting on it waiting to brew this one.
