Hi... looking for some advice on a 2nd batch extract recipe. Looking to do a citrus inspired wheat beer for a trip we are doing in a month or so, and came up with a bit of a mix of 2 recipes I've found out there. Wondering if the flavor profile of this is off (particularly whether the citrusy hops and zest are going to amplify and leave it too overwhelming) and also if this feels a bit too ambitious for a beginner whose first batch seems to be doing OK after a couple of weeks of primary but obviously is nowhere near the finished product yet.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated... thanks!
