FNnewguy here,
I am wondering if anyone has done a Honey Cherry Wheat (partial grain and extract)? I recently have brewed, and just finished bottling (56 bottles). The problem that I have is after tasting some of the leftovers from my priming bucket. My brew tasted thin and a little sour. Maybe someone can give me a clue as to why this happened. Anyway, I am aware that it may take some time for it to condition in the bottles. And according to my recipe it suggested letting it condition for atleast 6 months. Here is the recipe:
6.6 lbs. Wheat Malt Extract (breiss)
1 lb honey
5 lbs frozen cherries
½ lb. Pale Grain - 2 row (cracked)
½ lb. Malted Wheat Grain (cracked)
1½ oz. Hallertauer (whole hops) boil
½ oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (whole hops) finish
1 pkg. Wyeast Liquid Yeast - Bavarian Wheat or Belgian Ale
It is a modified one from a Wheat Beer that I got from my local HBS. It primaried for 5 days and was racked to secondary. It sat there for 2 weeks and cleared nicely. Came out a nice maroon color (looked good). Any comments greatly appreciated. By the way, I intentionaly made 6 gallons
