My parents have volunteered my services at their friends wedding at the end of may....I'll be cooking (brisket and pulled pork) as well as making a beer or two for this wedding. We decided to do the american wheat that I have been making for a few years, based on Widmer's Hef, but I want to change up the hops a bit to get more lemon citrus out of it. Instead of cascade, I was planning on using Lemondrop, and I'll add Amarillo as well. What do you think of this recipe so far? Any critique is appreciated.
American Wheat - 11 gal (70% efficiency)
OG - 1.054
IBU - 32ish
SRM - 5-6
44% 2 row
44% Wheat
10% Munich 10
2% Crystal 40
1 oz Nugget 60 min
1 oz Amarillo 5 min
1 oz Lemondrop 5 min
1 oz Willamette 5 min
1 oz Amarillo Dry Hop 3 days
2 oz Lemondrop Dry Hop 3 days
1 oz Willamette Dry Hop 3 days
I am thinking amarillo and lemondrop will overwhelm the willamatte, but I'd like to get a little earthy spicy out of it. What are your thoughts?
