Hi,
I'm going to be brewing a summer blonde ale for some non craft beer drinkers. Malt bill so far is
95% Vienna malt
5% CaraRed
Using Wyeast 1272 American Ale II
For the hops I'm thinking of a noble like hop for bittering (Hersbrucker). But I'm wondering about later flavour and aroma adittions. I have 0.5oz of Amarillo I am thinking of using but not sure if it would be best used at 15-20mins or at 0-5mins. The other hop addition will be hersbrucker, again, to take the place that the amarillo isn't used. Is that confusing?
So either
1oz Hersbrucker 60mins
.5oz Amarillo 15mins
.5oz Hersbrucker 0mins
OR
1oz Hersbrucker 60mins
.5oz Hersbrucker 15mins
.5oz Amarillo 0mins
Or maybe I should forget about the Amarillo and just go all german hops? I'd love to hear your thoughts...
