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

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.

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.
