I am planning a Raspberry Wheat and have a simple question.
The idea is to have a very slight raspberry flavor AND a slight red tint in color.
How much and what kind of dark steeping grain can I use to achieve a nice red tint?
I was thinking about doing a cold steep with a little Chocolate grains or Crystal 40L.
Here is what I have so far.
-----------------------------------------
6 lbs. wheat LME
1/2 lb. wheat malt grain
1/2 lb. two-row pale malt grain
1/4 lb. crystal 10L malt grain
1/4 lb. Flaked wheat
1 oz. USA Northern Brewer Leaf Hops (bitter) 60 min
0.25 oz. US Tettnanger Pellet Hops (Flavor) 15 min
0.25 oz. Kent Goldings Leaf Hops (Aroma) 5 min
Yeast: WLP001 California Ale
Added to secondary/clarifier jug:
1 lb Cotton Blossom Honey (It has NO floral aroma.)
1 Tablespoon Organic Raspberry Spread
Yeast for bottling: 1/2 pack of Safale S-33
