You definitely can pull some lemon flavors from the SA
I really didn't want to do anything but showcase the hop and I loved it
Spice really dominated my flavor profile: which wasn't very STRONG but it was definitely the strongest flavor in my brew with a hint of lemon.
Next time I'm going to...
I just did a Sorachi Ace american wheat (70% wheat) and I love this hop
I used harvested pacman yeast and I really liked how nice it played with the delicate flavors of the beer.
I'm going to tweak it a little bit next time I brew it. Mine had a nice spice flavor already from the SA-- adding...
P&S announced this morning that everyone who entered will be in the competition.
Triumph didn't want to turn away 275 people who entered so they will be announcing how to submit your brew.
Just brew your recipe and they'll be in contact with us I guess.
Brewed this about 5 weeks ago
3 weeks in Primary
1.5 weeks in bottle

Nailed the OG got a little higher than expected which is better than the alternative (I hate missing low)
Added 2 oz of dried lemon peel, decided to not add the lemon-grass. I had a lemon-grass beer (from magic hat) the Friday before I brewed this and I thought it tasted like incense so I...
My LHBS said there isn't enough 2 row to convert the wheat... I've seen 70% wheat recipes before.

How does this look? Not exactly sure what to call this-- it's not really a hefeweizen because of the IBU's. I want to brew a beer to profile the SA but I don't really want to bitter with SA.
I want a drinkable brew with a big lemon taste in the May months.
Any suggestions?
