I'm about to start my second brew, and my wife really wants to try creating a light summery ale that has light caramel, citrus, and mint flavors.
To make this happen, I thought that a blonde ale would work quite well, using Cascade and Citra for the citrus flavors, and adding a bit of caramel malt for additional sweetness, caramel taste.
Here's what I've come up with so far:

On that recipe, I was planning on adding boiling water to some mint to get a stronger flavor and adding some (cooled off) during bottling.
This is my first recipe that I'm sort of putting together on my own, so if I'm messing something up or if anything just doesn't make sense, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Also, if you have any suggestions on what you'd change or add, would love to hear them as well.
For instance, do you think using Crystal is a good idea for adding caramel/toffee flavors? Or would you add something else instead? Also, do the hop additions make sense?
