Looking to make a clone of my go to lawnmower beer Grain Belt using a kit from AHBS (this will be my first lager). I have a simple question about the recipe below. Should I be using the Tettnang hops for the bittering addition at 60 minutes and the Pearl at 15 minutes? These were the times listed on the instruction sheet and I thought that the Pearl was more of a bittering hop and the Tettnang was more for flavor/aroma.

Do I have these reversed? (or would switching them make a better beer?)

Instruction Recipe Sheet:
6 lbs. 6 row
1.5 lbs. 2 row
2.5 lbs. Flaked Corn
0.5 lbs. Carapils
0.25 lbs Crystal 60L

1 oz Tettnang (4.8%) 60 minutes
1 oz Pearl (8%) 15 minues
Wyeast Lager 2035
