Planning to brew this on Sunday. This is part of my series of beers based on Lord of the Rings (Rivendell Pale Ale). Any suggestions for different yeast (not sure what Wyeast Private Collection options may be available right now) or other adjuncts? Also wondering if anyone suggests a more interesting hop than Kent Goldings. I don't see Candi Sugar being used in any BPA recipes, just the higher gravity Trippels and Blondes.
