Notes

Not able to do a side-by-side tasting but from memory, although this is lower abv, it's very close on mouthfeel. This batch of hops (Mosaic and Citra 2016) are a bit more grapefruity and citrussy than tropical.

Very happy with how this turned out and the carapils seems to have stopped the body getting too thin without being too sweet.

Will tweak the hops next time (probably switch or add Amarillo and Galaxy) but some variation of this will be my house pale.

I think the most important improvement came from using my new pH meter and getting the mash pH (5.19) and sparge pH (4.8 - was scary low but seems to have worked) down. Finishing beer pH was ~4.4 when most of my latest have been 4.8-5.3.
