Cost isn't really an issue, an extra few bucks isn't going to kill me on this recipe but being such a light, simple beer I'm unsure about vegetal flavors from having almost 1/3lb of noble hops in something that's 95% Pilsner malt with very low flavorings/aroma hopping to hide any of these possible flavors.
I'm stuck on this part of my recipe and I can't decide between which route I should go. It's an 11 gallon batch so using the hops I have access to I would either need 4oz just for the 60 minute addition just to hit 25IBUs and a small pinch at 30ish for some flavor. Or do I save these and use .8oz of Magnum for the same bitterness?
Another option is to do a double brew day and a side by side between the two beers but then I will have a very long brew day with the 90 minute boils back to back.
