What do you think about highly hopping a wheat beer?
Normally I would think this is a bad idea b/c the hops will likely overpower the banana and clove flavors ... BUT, I am using some wheat that I germinated and malted myself. I am skeptical that the wheat is going to taste all that good.
After spending time on getting the wheat to this point I feel obligated to try brewing with it but, again, I don't have faith it will be that great. So, to cover potential disappointments, I am thinking of hopping this wheat beer to the heavens.
Thoughts? Advice?
