So, brewing my first batch in a year, all-grain of course, and need your input. It's a simple American style wheat using a clean yeast (S-05) and a trio of American style hops. See below for more details.
I plan to tap this at a housewarming event in my new home in about a month and hope to get a drinkable, light brew that can be enjoyed by craft people as well as non-craft drinkers.
Will this be TOO bland? I feel like I should "spice it up" with maybe 1/2oz. dryhop of Amarillo (ala Gumballhead wheat) or maybe some coriander, but I also don't want to overdue it.
