My first batch of this recipe used 20% Oats, it was an amazing beer, I even shared it with Jean from Tire Hands and he enjoyed it. I have since dialed it the Oats back to 15% and its dead on cloned. This beer is however all about the yeast and the dry hop. This is a massive amount of dry hops for a 5 gallon batch but its makes for a super aromatic citrusy quaffable beer. Any expressive english strain will do, I have enjoyed s04 the most so far, with the Yeast Bay's Vermont Ale being almost as good.
This recipe also works amazingly well in a 100% Brett fermentation, I suggest WLP644 Brett Trois.
Here is my initial blog post where I try to figure out the recipe.
