I wanted a wheat that has a fresh cherry nose and finish, something good for the humid days on the horizon.
#5 White wheat
#5 Pils
#.5 Flaked wheat
#.5 rice
Mashed at 152 for 60, strike with 3.5gals at 169. Batch sparged with 4 gals at 170 for 15 mins.
I had terrible efficiency and ended with an OG of 1.044. I think it's because i had a bad crush on the wheat, i did another batch using the white wheat and the same thing happened.
Using harvested Bells yeast fresh from a new sixer of Oberon that was in a starter for a week. This yeast gives a really clean flavor and should be perfect.
After primary ferment, i'll be racking to a secondary on top of 1 or 2 (depending) bottles of 100% black cherry juice.

I'll use 1 bottle to start and add more if need be before kegging.
Right now im about 7 days into primary fermentation, will update.
