I'm brewing up a German/Czech/Bohemian hybrid Pilsner and was going to load up on the late addition hops.
I was wondering if this might be a big mistake or not. We're talking about 10 oz of ultra 4.5% and 8 oz. of Hallertau 3.75% all at the 5-0 minute mark. I have the same hops going in for bittering in the beginning of the boil to get around 28 ibu's when all is said and done. I like the flavor of these two hops and while ultra is not a continental it holds a similar profile to Mt. Hood, Liberty, and Crystal. I've not had too many hop strong aromatic lagers save for some of Jack's Abbey offerings so I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
