Is it safe to assume that adding more of the same kind of hops will simply add more hop bitterness and/or aroma?
I'm looking at brewing a light wheat beer recipe that calls for 1 oz of Willamette for the full 60 mins and 1 oz of Cascade for the last 15mins. I assume the beer will turn out with only a little hop kick, so I was thinking of simply adding more to get a light beer with a hoppy finish.
I was thinking of just doubling what they call for (2oz for 60mins + 2 oz @ final 15mins), but I have no experience with tweaking recipes or making my own. I also figured that brewing more light beers will be a good jumping off point for making my own recipes.
Anything I should consider?
thanks in advance
