I recommend that you mash on the high side to encourage body.
I have a very similar full strength pale ale. I may see what I can get out of my second runnings and try my first party gyle on it. should produce close to similar results.
I like the idea of having this on tap for week night consumption and in place of soda or big beers. how is the body on this recipe? does it need a touch of carapils or something similar to give some mouth feel? or does mashing high give enough body. If I do second run party gyle I may be tempted to add a bit of malto/dextrine for a bit more body... thoughts? You would probaby back off the carbonation and serve slightly less bubbly on this little beer correct?
