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

Sounds like an easy drinker

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...
