Notes

Wheat and oats build the silky body that defines the style. Push almost all hops late — whirlpool plus a two-stage dry hop with the second addition at high krausen for biotransformation. London Ale III rounds the soft fruit profile.

Brewer: Cap mash at 154°F for body. Avoid oxygen exposure post-fermentation — purge kegs, don't bottle.

Packaging: Drink within four weeks. Carbonate to 2.4 vols.
