I made a pineapple wit that works great! The pineapple comes out a bit later, interestingly. I think when I make this again, I'll secondary and put half the pineapple in the primary and half in the secondary to get more flavor up front. It's definitely very tasty!
0.5 lb carapils
6 lb wheat LME
3 lb amber LME
.5 oz. Hallertauer (60 min)
.25 oz. Cascade (20 min)
.25 oz. Hallertauer (20 min)
WLP400 Belgian Wit Ale Yeast
1/4 tsp crushed coriander (5 min)
2 cans crushed pineapple in juice, no sugar added
Steep grain 30 mins @ 150-160. At 200 degrees, add amber LME. Begin boil. Boil bittering hops for 60 mins. Add remaining LME with 15 mins remaining. Add coriander with 5 mins remaining. Add pineapple just prior to flame out.
Bottle immediately after fermentation is complete, 7-10 days. Use 5 oz dextrose to prime.
