Notes

V1 used Mangrove Jacks M54 California Lager yeast which finished a bit dryer and lighter than a true Nail VPA. This yeast is quite similar to WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast but I couldn't get any at the time of brewing. I've brewed twice with this recipe and although I'm happy with the beer I wanted to try out a different yeast. I've seen other clone recipes which use similar hops but different yeast.

Version 2 was made with White Labs WLP 001 California Ale Yeast and is currently dry hopping (28/5/20). No other changes. Tasting notes TBC.

10-6-20 Much better with the wlp001, very close to the original. Same colour but hazier, perfect white head with solid retention, passion fruit aroma, crisp mouth feel, finishes clean and refreshing. Very sessionable for 6.5% just liek the real deal.

I may increase the dry hop quantities by 10-20% for version 3 otherwise change nothing. Solid recipe.
