Tastes very close to Blue Moon. Everyone who's tried it has loved it. I'll definitely be making this again, probably use an even 3lbs of wheat dme and 3lbs of light dme. I'll post a pic when I get a chance. |

I am considering making this recipe. Is there anything you would change or add to the original recipe? |

Everyone who's tried this loves it. Here's the final recipe I'll be sticking with: Recipe: -------------------------- Batch Size: 5 gallons Boil Size: 2.5 gallons OG: 1.045 FG: 1.011 ABV: 4.4% IBU: 15 SRM: 2 Ingredients: -------------------------- 3 lbs wheat dme 2 lbs light dme 1 oz cascade pellet hops 1.5 lbs clover honey 1 oz fresh orange zest(2 Lrg Oranges) 1 oz coriander seed(4 Tbsp whole) american wheat yeast corn sugar for priming Brewing: -------------------------- Mix extracts into 2.5 gallons water and bring to a boil. When boil starts, add .25oz cascade hops. Add remaining hops .25oz each at 30, 15, and 0 minutes. Remove wort from heat and add clover honey, orange zest, and crushed coriander. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes. Pour wort onto bag of ice, top up to 5 gallons, pitch yeast at 80° 5 days in primary, 2 weeks in secondary, prime with corn sugar and let carb 3 weeks. Delicious and quick summer brew. Very similar to blue moon. |

So you don't put any grains in whatsoever? I was wondering how the head retention was and mouthfeel. Do you think some carapils or caramel 10 would be good? What about some white wheat or unmalted wheat? |

I made a blackberry wheat a while back that I added: .5lbs belgian wheat, and .5lbs flaked oats after doing a bit of research into making a good wheat beer. You could do something similar if you wanted, I'm just not gonna mess with this recipe because it turned out so good and it was so simple and cheap to make. If my blackberryWheat comes out phenomenal I may have to change my mind... |
