    Howdy all, So, I recently keg hopped a nice NEIPA with Mosaic and loved it. I put 3 oz into a stainless hop cylinder and it gave a little extra kick of aroma and just a little something extra that carried through into the glass. I was worried about grassy or vegetal flavors, but I didn't get...

    My wheat beer turned out dark...
