I really appreciated your help with my wheat recipe, now if you would, please give me suggestions on this creme ale. I found this recipe on the web, and I have tweaked it to fit what my homebrew store had in stock. I am a bit concerned it is going to be too hoppy. Would love some opinions. Should I lessen the hops? which? and by how much?
Thanks!
