    Cascade hops. What beer to brew?

    Any APA. I use them for my pale ales (no clones) for flavouring and aroma.

    I keep getting lower than expected original gravity.

    Water chemistry helps too, ask them about stuff to put in the mash water to acidify it. This helped me too but I have let it slip as I am happy with my results just using rain water. Try different stuff as we all do but if you get a good result that you like drinking dont get too concerned...

    I keep getting lower than expected original gravity.

    Getting low effs too and using JW malts for the base. I did experiment with very slow draining of first runnings which improved things a bit but not worth the wait. Will try different malts in future as well to see if that helps with my setup. Beer still comes out great so not too concerned

Cubes rinsed till...
