Hop suggestions for an American-style wheat beer

[nreed]

I'd like to try an American wheat beer for my next brew and wondering if any of my hops will suit this style well? After a mix up with lost deliveries over Christmas, I've ended up with a load of new Hops in my freezer so ideally want to use these rather than order more! The hops I have on hand are:

• El Dorado
• Nelson Sauvin
• Centennial
• Azacca
• Magnum
• Mosaic
• Vic Secret
• Citra
• Simcoe
• Chinook

Appreciate it may be a little off style with these options, my first thought was to do Magnum for a clean bittering hop to get most my IBUS and then some Nelson at 15 & 5 for some subtle flavouring. I have a Centennial Blonde in the fermenter so I'd ideally prefer to leave this one out so I have some variety on hand!

Use whichever hop you like best.

True enough. All kinds of latitude here. I could see using a touch of Magnum to make most of the IBUs, then pretty much pick your favorite strain or two for some tasty very late additions at levels commensurate with the FG for the style...

Cheers!

I agree with the above bitter with magnum and then hit those late additions with citra and simcoe.

My fav American Wheat is Gumballhead from Three Floyds. Sadly you don't have any Amarillo on that list.

This is a great recipe. I’ve made it with the hops recommended in the article. But if I had to make it with your hops I’d do Nelson and Vic.

I would also follow the article recommendation and do a 5 or 10 minute addition since these are high alpha hops to get your bittering IBU’s and flavor, aroma and not do a 60 minute Hop addition.

This looks perfect - cheers!!
