8oz Carapils

Dry Hop: 2.5oz Columbus, 2.5oz Mosaic

WLP007, mash at 150.

Kinda going for dank fruit, I guess? I'm not a huge fan of the black IPA style, but others are so I'm giving it a go.
 
This looks good. Very similar to the Stone Self Righteous recipe. Not sure what your recipe size is, but it looks like you need WAY more hops.

Yeah, I basically used that as a template and switched out the Carafa for Midnight Wheat, and changed out some of the hops.

I shoot for 5 gallons in bottles. You'd add more hops at flameout or dry hop? Or both?

Edit: I also am keeping the OG on this one somewhat lower, in the 1.065 range.
 
Well I use bags for my hops on my system, and it does seem like my utilization isn't as good. Personally I'd do an oz at 45 then three of both during whirlpool. It depends on how long you plan on whirlpooling too. I find better hop character at 30 minutes than at 15.
