What do you guys think of this recipe?
12 gal batch
13.5 gal boil
16 lb - 2-row
4 lb - malted wheat
1 lb - Vienna
1 lb - Carapils
.5 lb - honey malt
1 oz Galaxy - 13.3% - 60 min
.5 oz Galaxy - 13.3% - 30 min
1 oz Cascade - 7% - 15 min
.5 oz Galaxy - 13.3% - 5 min
.5 oz Cascade - 7% - 5 min
1 oz Citra - 11% - Flameout
.5 oz Cascade - 7% - Flameout
Dry hop with Citra & Cascade, but possibly Cent instead
Is that too much wheat? I want to give it a creamy mouthfeel, but not too much of the wheat spice. I'm throwing in the honey malt to give it a nice sweetness that isn't overly caramel-y. & I wanted to highlight some of the grapefruit notes that the Cascade would bring to the table, & do something different than just Citra, Cent, Simcoe. Which is what I always do
I was thinking of mashing at 152. Should I shoot for lower?
I'm also not sure what kind of yeast I should use. Maybe a wit yeast? Or just 1056?
Thanks for the input!!!
