My vision is an American Wheat beer, session strength with IBUs in the low to mid 20ies. I want it to be chock full of melon-esque hops (Pacific Gem, Hull Melon, etc) and really massive on aroma/flavor. My plan is to toss in 6oz (total not each) or so from minute 10 to whirlpool then dry hop with another 3oz for 5 gallons. Beersmith says with a 10 minute whirlpool, my IBU target is attainable.
This would be my first attempt making a beer with such a huge charge of late hops with none early yet still low IBUs. Any complications (aside from a ton of hop matter) you guys can think of with such a process?
