Right on man, you'll be even more impressed when you crack open the first cold one in a couple weeks. I know I was.
^^ EXACTLY ^^ what he said. I do know what you mean though. I had a friend come to help me bottle once and he had 1.5 pints of the green stuff. He's been hooked ever since.
I've been known to take some and add just a bit of Bud Light to it for carbonation. BAM!! It's like instant beer...just add water.

Add budlight! That's hilarious! And about the same as adding canned soda water

It's out of a book "The Homebrewer's Recipe Guide" it's called "New England Cranberry Ale".......well crap I'm wrong about it being a yeast...kinda forgot when she told me: I was on this site!
Anyway the recipe for a "New England Cranberry Ale" is:
6 2/3LB Pale LME
1 Lb Crystal 40
2 oz Roasted Barley
1 1/2 oz Cascade (Bittering)
1/2 oz Mount Hood (Aroma)
1 tsp Gypsum
1 tsp Irish Moss
1 pkg European Ale Yeast
1 Cup Corn Sugar
3/4 Cup Corn Sugar (Priming)
It doesn't say how many cranberrys to use...I guess thats up to you, you know?
It says to put the cranberrys in a food processor then steep with the 1 cup corn sugar in 150 degree water for 10min. Then put them in the secondary and rack the beer onto it...
Sounds pretty good to me but we'll see.
If you want a cranberry wheat recipe I'll see if the book has one...
OK the boil's doin good It's got 45min left and the next hop addition is at flame out
SO I flipped through the book and found a cranberry wheat recipe
Murph's Cranberry Wheat
(Who the hell is murph?)
6 2/3 LB Ireks Wheat Malt (I heard they don't sell this stuff anymore...I guess regular Wheat LME would work though...)
1 oz Hallertauer (Bittering)
1 oz Tettnanger (Bittering)
2 LB Cranberries
1 Tbs Irish Moss
1 pkg Bavarian Wheat Ale Yeast
3/4 Cup Corn Sugar (priming)
Says to add the hops after 15min into the boil...and add the cranberries (after putting them through a food processor) durring the last 30min of the boil.
hmm sounds pretty good and I've been wanting to make a wheat....maybe i'll see if i can swing her...
greenhornet-
post-up when you're done (and drinking!) the cran wheat.
I know that cranberrys are wicked sour, so adding that sugar sounds like a good idea'r.
And I like the idea of using the real thing instead of some extract.
I just bottled the raspberry wheat. Just for kicks, I ended up mixing some with carbonated water to get a sneak peak. Tasted watered down....go figure...
Flat, Room Temp, Green Beer
