Brewer's Notes

Centennial hops are what made this beer stand out.
It was a bit of a case of cleaning the brew cupboard,and the style was determined by the contents.The Munich II gave it a nice malt base to balance the IBU's out.
Nottingham muted the hop aroma a little ,which was reflected in the judges notes.
Nonetheless it was a good drop enjoyed by all who tasted it.

Chinook
Northern Brewer
Cascade

Hey DLB, very interesting choice of yeast.

Seen it around a fair bit, but I've never used it before, is it neutral or does it add a fair bit to flavour profile?

I've only ever used US-05 for APA's and found it great, but definately interested in other good alternatives.

Neutral and clean,favours the malt over the hop aroma, unlike US05(a fave of mine).
I went against local advice and tried this strain on the recommendation of some US Brewboard members, and it paid off.Malt profile was spot on for IBU's, maybe just up Your aroma addition to compensate if you want to give it a try.
