Yeast-wise, I am thinking of using Gervin to accent the hops but if I have a problem with it I am considering US-05 to see what will happen

Re: AG7 - Best Bitter
Sounds like an easy drinker 

Re: AG7 - Best Bitter
that's what I'm hoping for. Saying that, my 'Bodgegarden' is in the cornies at 50psi to carb them quickly and even after a day it tastes lovely. I think that may become my new regular beer.
I changed the hop schedule a little to increase the IBU slightly as I was on course for a higher SG. But it didn't turn out that way and got the correct SG and I'd much rather have more bitter beer than a milder one.
The change in hops...
