I have some meridian hops that i have been itching to use in a wheat based IPA. I thought i would pair them up with some citra and hop burst em. I was wondering if my grain bill needs some tweaking. Do you think it need some crystal or something along thou's line to darken/fortify. Is it to much wheat
