Hiya!

I'd go for a more British / estery yeast like Windsor to play up the British origin a tad. Maybe add a small amount of invert sugar (50-100g), consider maybe some amber malt (50g max), and move the 60m Simcoe addition to 15m. Should be more crossover that way!

Discovery is Fuller's. Adnams do Exporer which is along the same lines. Blonde with some American hops.

You are of course correct. I'm not sure why I always get those two confused!

I only picked up on it because I always do the same myself. I'm a big fan of both.

Imagine Fullers 1845 or London Porter fermented with the Adnams dual-strain. Oooooh, baby!

Cascade is now know as an American hop and is used beautifully in British beers as well as in American ales like Sierra Nevada...but im almost certain its originally a uk variety that just grows better in th US..You would be on common ground using boat loads of cascade....
