Hi,
I'm getting ready to brew a cream ale, but I'm gonna do some things differently. I would like your input on hops.
The recipe is 5gal all-grain.
7# marris otter 2-row
3/4# honey malt
1/4# Belgian biscuit malt
1oz cascade @ :60
S-05 yeast
Changes I'm making to that recipe for both creative as well as time constraint reasons:
Kveik Voss yeast (I will be pressure fermenting in keg.)
I am adding ...
1oz saaz @ :60?
1oz azacca @ :40? (Arbitrary time stamp)
(?) 1oz cascade @ ??
1oz saaz @ :5
I considering replacing it with saaz @ :60 instead of Cascade. I don't want the pine, resin, spice as the forefront flavor. Now, I don't mind leaving it in there if you think it will be necessary to balance the other sweet hops, but if that's the case, I would like to make it a later addition.
Here is a screenshot of Beer Maverick's hop comparison chart of those three hops.
Thoughts?
