Hey all! I'm currently toying around with brewing a blonde ale based solely on Southern Hemisphere hops. I already have WLP001 cultured up, mostly, from the freezer so that's why that strain is listed in the recipe. I'm not well versed on the blonde ale style and wanted something that was plain on the grain bill yet interesting on the hop side. That's where the very light addition of dry hops come in. The grain order will be placed Friday so was wanting to see if there may be any pointers at all for this recipe? I've never used any of these hops so am essentially going in blind. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!
