Notes

Cannot find rice hulls so was advised to use oat husks for the same purpose of improving flow through grain bed during mash as high wheat malt proportion in the grain bill could cause flow issues.
2-step mash to encourage hydrolysis of ferulic acid to promote the signature clove-like flavours.
MD20 yeast should provide banana flavours at Ferment at 20oC
