So I'd like to make a light Honeydew beer but I really don't have a lot of XP in brewing just yet. I came up with the following by looking around at other beers and fiddling with ingredients.
6 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract
1 oz Williamette 60min
.5 oz Fuggles 15min
12 oz Honey 15min
Irish Moss
Wyeast 1272
4 oz Honeydew Juice (Strained from a puree) to be added at bottling.
The 4 oz for the Juice itself was a total guess, I have no idea if this would be enough to make the flavor noticeable but not overpowering.
As far as grains go, I'm at a loss. I don't want to add anything to make the color too dark. I'm shooting for a Wit beer look (ideally like Mothership color). Would adding gelatin to fine out this beer be helpful as well?
Any advice would be very much appreciated. I've only brewed 3 beers so far (and an Apfelwein but that isn't really brewing) so I could use all the help I can get.
