88% Mash Efficiency, and Hydrometer says I hit my gravity Refractometer says I am 1 point low (I need to calibrate it).
I'd better go and clean the copper now!

You're getting very efficient in those hop additions, going for very specific things, I like it

[WishboneBrewery]

I'm trying to see if the additions at 20-10mins are really necessary, so this and my previous brew its just bittering and a flame-out steep.

Pump Clip Design for this beer
I'll be Casking this beer during the week into a Pin from work, use a fairly low amount of priming sugar maybe just 30g so as not to over carbonate.

Sounds delicious. Mikkeller use a lot of flaked oats in their single hop series and they taste great. Definitely a late spring / early summer supper.

[WishboneBrewery]

My first Casked Home brewed ale.

Looks great. Very interested to know what effect the oats have. Keep us posted!

[WishboneBrewery]

Should know how its turned out in about 2 weeks, only had enough left for 2 bottles after filling the Pin.

[Gricey]

How you serving from the pin? Whats the lifetime of your beer?

[WishboneBrewery]

it will be Hand-pulled, lifetime once vented & tapped about 1 week. Hope it all gets drunk in that time I'd hate to see it go to waste.

[Gricey]

36 pints in a week... don't tell the doctor

[WishboneBrewery]

The plan is, its not all for me to drink... I'll need help!

[Gricey]

I'll be right over
