I brewed this with all-organic grain. I used US-05 yeast, but I recommend sticking with the 1968 as suggested, or something similar like Wyeast 1332. The reason for that is that my batch attenuated a little too much (down to 1.006). My mash temps were a little low also, which probably has something to do with that. But even with that, the beer is wonderful! I'm using this base with different hops as experiments (have done this with Mosaic and and just brewed one with UK Fuggle). Hard to beat the Cascade, though. Next time I'll dry hop this with 3 oz of Cascade.

I've been drinking on a keg of this for awhile now, and I have to say, it's a really enjoyable pale. I can't say that I replicated Mirror Pond, but it is in that vein of pale ale; Mirror Pond, Summit EPA, etc. Nice, balanced, soft but noticeable bitterness. I like hops, so I think next time I'll up both the late and knockout adds to a full ounce.Really good beer, this is definitely the base that I will build my everyday pale ale from.

This was my first all grain batch, and my best beer to date. Great recipe!
