Looking for a little guidance, mostly on hops for this recipe. I did a version of this recipe last year using magnum as the bittering hop and citra for flavor and aroma. Through a comedy of errors I never got to taste the beer finished, but the post fermentation hydrometer sample was a total tropical fruit bomb. There was no bitterness at all and it was cloyingly sweet. The only flavor coming through was tropical fruit, mango and pine apple. It was like drinking a glass of mango juice. That version was a 5G batch and used. 75 oz magnum @ 60, .25 oz magnum @ 45, 1 oz citra @ 5, and 1 oz citra @ yeast pitch.
For this version I'm trying to get a little more nuance and hop flavor complexity and am thinking of trying mandarina Bavaria for my dry hop addition but am not sure if I should use them for the 5 minute addition or if I should use something like cascade or something else entirely? Open to other suggestions as well. I've also thought about reducing the amount of honey malt down to maybe 4-5 oz?
The recipe:
Sunny Day Pale Ale
Batch size: 3.25 G
OG: 1.059
FG: 1.012
IBU: 29
SRM: 6
Grains:
6# pilsner
7 oz honey malt?
5 oz 10L Munich malt
12 oz white wheat malt
Hops:
.5 oz magnum @ 60
.6 oz cascade @ 5?
1 oz mandarina Bavaria dry hop for 5 days added either @ yeast pitch or @ high krausen, or split into 2 separate additions?
Yeast: omega labs hornindal kveik
Thanks and cheers!
