Notes

Experimental Brew to try using sake kasu produced by a local sake brewery. The goal is to have a fairly reasonable blonde ale as a backdrop to the kasu, with the hope that it will emphasize any possible rice, tropical, or fruity flavors.

This version is intended to work out the kinks in the base beer recipe, before I do a batch involving the kasu.

When I do use the kasu, I expect attenuation will be on the high end, due to the koji enzymes, and that this'll probably be a bit proofier than normal for a blonde ale; since my rig is a bit janky, and my efficiencies sometimes horrible, I'd rather overshoot than undershoot.

The grain bill was mostly purloined from Brulosophy's Best Blonde Ale (http://brulosophy.com/recipes/brulosophers-blonde-ale/), with some subs to use a "local" maltster (the Briess Munich is a stand-in for Blacklands Brown Field 10 Munich).

Loral and Mosaic were chosen to hopefully provide some fruit character without straying too far from blonde ale territory.

Voss should be fairly neutral, with light fruity esters, and should have quick turnaround time for fast iteration, which is all that's needed.
