I would have the 60 min addition as Sorachi!
A year or so ago I did a wheat sorachi SMASH and it was AMAZING! Came in at 4% and 40IBUs

Sounds interesting. Let us know how it turns out!

What mash temp are you thinking? You might want to go higher than usual to leave enough malt character in such a light beer.

Sounds interesting.

Interesting good or weird? I'd like it to be flavorful and yet universally enjoyed. Is the sorrachi too much of a risk? What if i used some noble hops? I've never tried them...

Interesting good. I think you should go for it. I've done a couple milds in the 3 percent range but no blondes that low so I'm curious. I think the lemony hops will work nicely. Definitely report back.
