Recipe Question (experimental- mesquite beer)
________________________________________
I want to brew a 3 gallon batch this weekend with the goal of using mesquite chips in the secondary. I want a low ABV (so I might go ~4 gallons) but do not care about the color as much as something unique and refreshing.
I have:
3.3 lbs pilsner LME
1 lb dark malt DME
I need to get some yeast. What would you recommend for a crystal clear beer?
My question is should I hop this, bittering vs. aroma?
Should I stay away from the dark DME and pick up some light DME so that I have a cleaner palate to work with?
I would also consider adding some orange zest in the secondary.
Recommendations?
