So how does this look guys, maybe you would be able to help me out and give me some pointers.
Working on a summer ale recipe after I bottle my current two batches. This is the first recipe I am trying to create myself so bare with me and all criticism would be greatly appreciated.
I want this brew to be sort of on the lighter side, with honey, citrus and ginger notes. So here we go.
Ingriedients:
1 lb Honey Malt
1.25 lbs Torrified Wheat (for a nice head)
6.00 lbs Extra Light DME
.5 oz Hallertauer (bitterness)
.25 East Kent Goldings (Aroma)
1 Whole Orange Zest
1 Whole Lemon Zest
1 oz Ginger Root
White Labs American Ale Yeast
My process:
Going to steep the honey malt and torrified wheat in 2.5 Gallons of water @ 155 degrees for 30 minutes.
Going to sparge with .5 gallons of water @ 177 Deg.
Add Extra Light DME and bring to a boil.
Once boil starts add Hallertauer Hops and boil 45 minutes
Add East Kent Goldings, Orange and Lemon Zest, and Ginger and boils for 15 minutes more.
Cool wort to 75 degrees and add 2 Gallons of water.
Aerate and add yeast.
Fermenting in Primary for 14 days and Secondary for 14.
Any pointers would be great guys.
