Howdy folks, been a while. Had to put a hold on my brewings until I got a few things paid off (like my new $400 gadget) but now it's time to kick it off again.
Anywho, I was going through some cabinets and found I had like 14 lbs of "wheat malt extract". It's kindda old, opened both containers and there's no mold on it, so I figure it's ok to use. Now it's time to come up with something to make out of it. I recently made a raspberry ale that came out great and was thinking of using this for some sort of blueberry-wheat ale. Here's what I was thinking:
6lbs wheat malt extract
1 oz Mt Hood hops (@15 min)
1 oz Mt hood hops (@ 45 min)
Ferment couple weeks, add 3lbs pasturized blueberries, ferment, age, drink, enjoy.
The raspberry ale recipe i followed had like 3lbs light malt extract and 3lbs of rice solids. I'm wondering if 6lbs of the wheat is going to overpower the fruit too much or not.
I'm by no means an expert yet, still think I'm new to this, so feel free to rip it apart if this is a terrible idea
