1lb of victory will get you a lot of toasty flavor... I use 1/2lb in my lighter summer beers when I want some toasty malt notes in there, so I can only imagine a pound will be quite dominant - especially with only 7lb base malt.
I may suggest adding a lb of white wheat if you're going for a summer quencher style... I like that it gives it a light creamy mouth-feel and aids with head retention on an otherwise simple grain-bill beer like this one..
I would totally experiment with the hops on a simple style like this... Cascades are good, but there's a world of hops waiting out there too. Some suggestions:
- Try some Sorachi Ace if you have access to them - they have a nice lemony, citrus note to them
- Crystal hops are nice for giving a spicy aspect that's not too harsh, perfect for lighter classic 'lager' type hop flavors
- Citra - will give a good dose of grapefruit/pasionfruity-ness
With the hops it will really come down to what flavors you want coming out in the end... spicy? fruity? piney? Once you answer that, you can narrow down which hops to add. Usually, with American styles, the more the merrier.:fro:
