Hi All,
I'm working on a wedding day brew from my wedding coming up in about seven weeks. I need help on the hop profile for the beer. I was thinking about the following grain bill:
11.5% Munich Malt
88.5% Maris Otter
The weather where we are (dare i say) wedding in late July is 90+ degrees on average so I'm aiming for a lighter bodied - but high alcohol - beer with a nice assertive and tasty malt profile balanced with a mildly bitter alpha hop (30 IBU). I would like to create a beer that would finish bright and floral/citrus but not so much as it would overpower the malt. Anyone have any suggestions on what hops to combine to achieve the goals as stated above? Remember: I'm not aiming for a super-citrussy Sierra Nevada type beer, but more of a Speakeasy IPA kinda beer.
Open to other suggestions on recipe as well.
Thanks in advance broieeees.:rockin:
