Extra Special Bitter

I made an all grain Extra Special Bitter (ESB) on Sunday.  It was a lot of fun.  My modified cooler worked fantastically.  The only downside was that I had to tilt it a bit to get the rest of the wort out.  But that was easy enough!  I mashed for about 2 1/2 hours to see how long I could hold the temperature in the mashtun.  I started at 150 degrees F and ended at 148 degrees 2 1/2 hours later.  It was pretty cool.
Here's my recipe:
