Hi,
I would like to create a moderately hoppy american style wheat beer with passionfruit added to secondary fermentation. I want the beer to have a nice passionfruit hint, not anything overwhelming. I am not really sure how to balance the hops or which type of hops since I am adding the passionfruit.
It's summertime down under so would like to have a refreshing beer under 6% ABV.
Also, I have one constraint in that I have a can of BlackRock Whispering Wheat (3.5lbs) that I need to use. The can calls for 1 kg of brewing sugar added to the fermenter. Previously I have only brewed dry or liquid extracts with steeped grains and added hops during the boil. This can is already hopped (lightly I assume).
The hops I have on hand are centennial, amarillo, and willamette and the yeast I have is American Hefeweizen WLP 320.
Any recommendations for this as I am not too keen on the canned hopped extract. Can I substitute dry malt extract or other grains during the boil for the brewing sugar? What hops would pay with well with the style I am trying to create?
Thanks
