I am wanting to experiment with agave nectar, and Sorachi Ace. I've never used either, and they sound very interesting.
I've put together the following:
The intent is to create a simple beer (using what's on hand..) so that I can get a handle on the characters in the agave and the Sorachi. As of now, there are no flavor hops - bad idea? I want to reserve all the Sorachi for dry hopping in secondary to maximize the supposed lemony notes. The only other hops I have is some Centennial and Chinook.
I'm thinking I'll add the nectar late in the boil to retain its flavors as much as possible.
Thoughts?
thanks
