American Wheat

While it’s still summer and I’m still on a wheat beer and hoppy pale kick, I decided I would brew something that would combine both hops and wheat.  I wanted something refreshing, light bodied with low bitterness and a medium hop flavour/aroma.  Typically American Wheat is not usually dry hopped but I will still try it on the S-05 carboy with 1oz of hops (0.50 oz Amarillo + 0.50 oz Sorachi Ace) just for personal research and development.
