The tasting notes say 4.7%, Low colour Maris Otter, Chinook, Centennial, and American yeast (US05?)

Hmmmm

Got Amarillo, cascades, challenger, fuggles and goldings in stock.

Looks like I may be brewing a variant on your hophead clone Si.

Will have a think and put a recipe up later for perusal :)

I'll say to you...don't put 175g of Cacade in 5G at flameout :oops: Well OTT :-&

This is my Hophead III attempt I'll do in a bit.

1.040 & 3.8%
Amount Item Type % or IBU
3.18 kg Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 95.00 %
0.17 kg Caramalt (26.0 EBC) Grain 5.00 %
40.00 gm Cascade [5.34 %] (90 min) Hops 23.6 IBU
60.00 gm Cascade [5.34 %] (1 min) Hops 1.4 IBU
25.00 gm Cascade [5.34 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops - 80°C for 30mins
Think I'll push the boat out and use a third of a pack each of US05, Notts and S04, as the brewery use this blend.

Wish I had some Amarillo, and some cascades, and loads of other stuff...so much to brew, so little time :D

Good luck BM.
