I'm looking to make an American Wheat beer for this Spring with a good hop presence but not a ton of bitterness, so I thought about doing this recipe without any bittering hops.
This is what I put together, ends up being ~1.045 OG and 27 IBU:
4 Lbs Wheat Malt
4 Lbs 2-Row
15 min - 1 oz. Sorachi Ace
1 min - 1 oz. Sorachi Ace
I have a few questions. First, if I do this, is it necessary to boil for a full hour or can I cut this down to 30-40 minutes? Second, has anyone done this hop schedule with a wheat beer, and if so how did it turn out?
