NZ Pale Ale Recipe

[jimp2003]

Hi Guys.

I have some Riwaka and Motueka hops just begging to be used in something light and hoppy ready for the warmer months ahead and came up with the following idea for a brew.

The Carahell is there as it needs used up. Its quite a straightforward grain bill - does it need anything added? I have the usual munich, crystal, wheat etc in stock that could be used if necessary....
