7-8g S04 rehydrated at 30c with 200 ml pre-boiled water.
This will be a test of Mosaic hops. The Black IPA I did with Mosaic had a strange aroma. This will ale will confirm for me whether Mosaic is one to use, or avoid.
As you may have noticed this is a SMaSH Pale Ale designed for summer drinking, so it should be light, crisp and not too strong with good citrusy hop aroma and flavour.
The Oats are rolled and are for mouthfeel and head retention mainly.
The mash and boil went according to plan. The oats were soaked a little before hand. There was a mash out and a dunk sparge.
I only made 7 litres in the end. Again efficiency is pretty poor.
The yeast started to get going in only about six hours. Three weeks in Primary and further 3 days dry hopping.
Bottled today. FG was bang on 1.013, perfect. FG sample tasted fantastic. Massive grapefruit citrud taste hit, nice full bodied mouthfeel too. Can't wait to crack one open in about a week.
