So I know that by doing a late addtion you can use far less hops and achieve skyrocketing bitterness, but what about for flavor?
For instance, I'm about to brew a single hop saison with Sorachi Ace bittering and flavor additions, all of which occur w/o the presence of DME. However I will steep about a # of grain before the boil (duh) so I'm thinking that would help with flavor impartation. I have never attempted anything of the sort.
I just want to make sure that awesome Sorachi Ace flavor will be present as well as the bitterness.
Hop schedule:
.25 oz 40 min
.25 oz 10 min
.50 oz 1 min
1.044 OG
Thoughts?
