AG#117 - Waimea Amarillo Ahtanum

[Franklin]

Waimea Amarillo Ahtanum - I'll think up a better name than this! This is my brew for the bar at Saltaire Brewery / NCB Competition, I've for Flaked Oats & Barley in there and the water profile is for a Mild to try and keep some good body. I plan to dry hop this brew in the FV and probably a light dry hop in the cask too. Oh, btw... its a 'Hoppy Blonde' ;-)

Ended up with an OG of 1049 so liquored back to 1041 giving me 26.22L in the FV, using a fair amount of hop pellets in the boil has stopped hop absorption in comparison to whole hops.
