So far I have made BB American Light, BB Weisenbier, and a Blond Ale Kit from my LHBS. The american light had a slight bit of bitterness and was pretty good, the weiserbier was too bitter for me even though it had the same IBU's as the American Light and the blonde is still in the primary right now. The american used saaz (1oz Bitter, 0.25oz Aroma), the weis used hatterau (1oz bitter, 0.5oz aroma), and the Blonde used Mt Hood (1oz bitter, 0.5oz aroma).
I've been reading on and on about different hops and there charcteristics. I would like to try some different hops. Would this be good? 1oz Cluster (Bittering), 0.5oz EKG (Aroma), or would you recommend something different. The recipe base is going to be probably similar to my Blonde Ale.
3lbs extra light DME
1lb rice solids
1lb honey
