Wheat IPA grain bill?

[CharlosCarlies]

Hey guys,

Took our first stab at a wheat IPA a couple months ago and it came out great, but I still would like to tweak the grain bill a bit. Original recipe was basically:

- 50% Wheat
- 30% 2-Row
- 10% Munich
- 5% C-60
- 5% C-120

I'd like to back off the color a bit and simplify things if possible, so I was thinking along the lines of:

- 50% Wheat
- 45% Maris Otter
- 5% C-60

Thoughts? I do have PLENTY of Munich and Vienna lying around, but was thinking the Maris Otter might add enough complexity on it's own.

I'd replace the C-60 with Munich or Vienna...solid and simple recipe. They play nice with MO

Sounds good I'll give it a shot. Would 10% Munich or Vienna be enough/too much?

That's great. Many people use them up to 100%. 10% in an IPA gives noticeable color & character without dominating.
