Xcontinental ESB

This is the last half runnings of a pale ale recipe of the same name. Should be a batch of about 3 gallons so I'll have to adjust the hops in order to reach the appropriate IBU's. I also won't know the OG until brew day, and will adjust with extract if necessary. This would be the full batch recipe.
