looks awsome!

Go for it!

What hop shortage????

only comment would be to beef the malt up to 1.036 or 38 to handle all the hops better

cheers

What hop shortage????

I've stocked up, I'm not letting a little thing like a worldwide hop shortage stop me from pouring glasses full of hops down my throat

Yeah, I'm hoping for an increased efficiency on this one (adjusted rollers and it being a light) so hopefully will get those extra few points from the mash

Cheers

Love it Dave.

Probably only one suggestion but. Maybe lower attenuating English yeast?

Good suggestion Warren. I just pitched an American Mild tonight and chose a low-attenuating yeast. Even though I mashed at 69deg, I think such a yeast is a must in these beers. My recipe was very similar but with American hops. When its a hoppy yet light beer you need a bit of malt to back it up I reckon.

I have a packet of windsor yeast down in the fridge I was wondering if I should use instead. That confirms it for me

Cheers fellas
