I am going to brew a cranberry wheat beer.
The recipe is based on what I was able to get my hands on.
6lbs Muntons plain wheat DME (add at beginning of boil)
2lbs Briess Bavarian wheat DME ( add at 40 minutes)
Irish moss 1 tsp at 45 min.
Mt Hood 1 oz, at beginning of boil
Mt hood 1/2 oz. last 5 minutes
2 quarts R.W. Knudson just cranberry juice added in secondary.
3 gallon boil, cool, top up to 5 gallons in fermentation bucket.
Pitch yeast. I am using safbrew wb-06, I bought 2 sachets because I am unsure of what the OG will be and haven't figured out how to use beersmith yet.
Any idea what to expect for O.G. and is one pack of yeast enough or should I pitch 2 ?
Thanks for any help.
PS: I went a bit heavy on the DME figuring the dilution of the juice plus the natural bitterness in cranberry juice.
