recently I drank up the last of my Munich SMaSH... it was pretty good, but there's room for improvement.
I did 100% Munich 10L, with Hallertau Blanc @ FW, 20, 5, 0 = ~30IBUs, and Wy1007 German Ale.
The beer had good clarity, very malty sweet as expected. The hops is where I want to improve. The fruity and citrus aspect of those hops do not go well with the sweet malt character. Just too much of that all around.
So I'm looking for any suggestions on some low-ish AA bittering hops for this one. Next time around I might try out Mittlefruh or Hersbrucker... I'm all ears on this one. Any advice?
I'm also thinking of swapping out the yeast for WLP029 Kolsch. Thoughts?
