Any help on the recipe below would be fantastic. I've already bought the grain so I'm more or less looking for help with the hops and/or other flavorings. I am using the yeast from boulevard smokestack series Tank 7 Farmhouse ale dregs.
My lhbs-guy said that he thought sorachi-ace and citra would play well in a saison, and I've been wanting to try sorachi ace. I've done some reading on HBT and it seems that less is more when it comes to sorachi ace for flavoring/bittering. I've also got a bunch of simcoe, amarillo, and other various american IPA-type hops that I could use if someone thinks they would be a better fit.
Oh ya, I stole the grain bill from here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/nelson-sauvin-dry-hopped-saison-229126/ (sorry Homebrewtastic).
Have a look and any advice would be great. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
