First, let me say, Brandon's Graf in the recipe section is flipping awesome. What a stellar idea. I just hope the commercial breweries eventually catch the hint and start making this big (while giving credit where credit is due of course)
I've done a couple batches of it now and am ready to experiment a bit.
I'd love to hear some more variations, so let this be a forum for posting and advising on recipes. HAREEBROWNBEEST has a good brew going right now that probably qualifies as a Graf, but I'll let him decide that.
Here's my first variation idea: apfelwit-graf
2 lbs flaked wheat
3 lbs liquid wheat malt extract
1 oz cascade
2 oranges
4 gallons apple juice
Process:
steep wheat at 150f for 20 min
Bring to boil
Add extract and half the hops
Boil for 30 min then add remaining hops
Boil 15 min then cool to 70 ish degrees
Dump in carboy and add apple juice and Belgian ale yeast (suggestions?)
I'm pumped!
