It should be fine! Maybe add some aroma hops at the end though?

Also - what yeast will you use? US05 might be good for this if you are fermenting at ale temps as it will give a clean taste.

I have saaz for bittering an aroma. 90 and 15mins? Or do you suggest another hop?

I have US05 so thats good. Forgot to make mention of yeast in my 1st post.

For me, the 15 the minute addition is mainly about the hop flavour and I throw in another bunch of hops for aroma either at flame out, or after letting the wort cool down a bit to 80C or thereabouts.

So maybe chuck in a handful more Saaz at 80C ? It'll give you much more lovely noble hop aroma.

Finally went ahead and started this. Mash is on as we speak.
