Brewed 3/21/20 with 6# MO, 5# Pils, Waimea in place of N Brewer and Motueka in place of Tettnang from original recipe. Waimea (14.9) 0.5 oz @ 60, Motueka (6.2) 0.75 oz @ 20 and 1.0 oz @ 10 for 48 IBU. Caramel 40 is actually CaraGold (45l). 8/16/20 lowered MO to "soften" taste. Vic Secret for bittering, Motueka (a Saaz type frpm NZ) and Waimea (somewhat like Fuggle) for aroma hops. Lighter than 7B style guidelines but consistent with softer taste. 11/20. Used up end stock for closing home brew store. C40 or C45 not available so mixed C20 and C60. Only .33# red wheat so subbed white wheat to make one lb. Don't expect any difference in taste from grains but adjusted hops (Vic down to .33 and Waimea up to .67) to get to top end of style IBU guideline.
