What happens when you take a recipe and then swap out a bunch of ingredients for what you have? Well... you still end up be a pretty good beer!

Depends on what your swapping, what are you swapping?

First off I didn’t have any Hallertau on hand and normally I would substitute that for Saaz but I also didn’t have enough Saaz. Because this is really just a bittering hop addition I added roughly the same IBUs by putting in 0.25 oz of Azacca at 60 min.

Secondly the recipe calls for 2 oz of Saaz at 5min but here again I didn’t have quite enough so instead I used 1 oz of Saaz and 0.5 oz of Mosaic.

Lastly I swapped out the lager yeast for some harvested Safbrew WB-06 I had on hand. Honestly I figured with all of the other changes I may as well go all out with this franken-beer.

I thinks your 60 minute addition will be fine and the Mosiac might make for a tad bit fruity aroma and well the wheat beer yeast might put off some wheaty flavors and esters. It will be interesting.
