I hope I make some sense here. I have brewed for a bit but this is my first time taking the wheel!
I am going for a lighter IPA. I am blending a few recipes.
Essentially, I am looking for some of the hops complexity of Loose Cannon with a lighter malt profile. I love the clean crispness of Dogfish head 60 but I am not a huge fan of what the hops is doing in there.
I guess my first concern would be if the hops is out of balance. Strong "bitter forward" beer doesnt work for me. Subtlety is what I would like to achieve.
I am thinking Nottingham or Pacman.
Mashed at 152.
Any and all help is much appreciated!
