I have been tossing around a recipe for a wheat beer that doesn't need a slice of orange. I found these experimental hops at Yakima Valley Hops(experimental Tangerine) and have done several different recipes with them. I have found they get more "tart" I guess if to much are used. If only aroma is desired at small amounts they hint a taste just as if a slice of fruit is on the glass. But kind of like Lemon Drop, to much is to much. How can I bring out the citrus without them overpowering and getting tart or bitter? The best flavor so far was with 180f degree whirlpool for 10min(10 gal. batch 2oz.) But if I add just a little more (.5oz.) they get too sharp. How do I get more aroma without more tart?
