Have I overdone the Tettnang

[jimp2003]

Hi Guys.

I have a recipe that was put together wih a mate who wants to do his first AG and from my stock he chose to use Tettnang in a pale/blonde ale:

Original Gravity (OG): 1.046 (°P): 11.4
Final Gravity (FG): 1.012 (°P): 3.1
Alcohol (ABV): 4.52 %
Colour (SRM): 6.5 (EBC): 12.8
Bitterness (IBU): 20.3 (Average)

81.32% Maris Otter Malt
7.5% Caramalt
6.1% Munich
5.08% Torrified Wheat

40g Celeia (4% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil)
30 g Tettnanger (3.8% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes (Boil)
20 g Saaz (3.1% Alpha) @ 0 Minutes (Aroma)
40g Tettnanger (3.8% Alpha) @ 0 Minutes (Aroma)
30g Tettnanger (3.8% Alpha) @ 7 Days (Dry Hop)


As I have never used Tettnang before I was wondering if anyone could comment on the amount used here? Have we gone overboard with it?

p.s. I have also posted this in the recipe section a few days ago but no comments so I thought I would try here.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Cheers

Jim

It's nice if boiled for at least 5 minutes, floral and mildly spicy. When used for dry hopping it's grassy, i like it but it comes down to personal taste.

I might not bother with the dry hop then. I only added it to the recipe use up the last 30g in the bag.

Cheers!

If it's done & dusted there's nowt you can do about it now. Just wait and see what it comes out like, may be a master brew that you will want to do again. :thumb:
