Need advice on Apricot Wheat

BrewBrain said:

OK, so I'm not a huge wheat beer fan at all, and I've brewed zero of them. I know very little about them. But, I'm hosting another poker party/beer slugging gathering in a couple months and I know a couple of the guys at least would appreciate having something like this available. Plus, I want a good recipe I can use when necessary. Who knows, maybe I'll even develop a taste for the stuff.

I have an apricot tree that usually does very nice work. I'd like to incorporate the apricots into an annual wheat beer recipe.

Question: Would this work better as a Hefeweizen, or more of an American style clear wheat beer? With this answered, I'm sure I could find a model recipe in the database, but I'd also appreciate any other suggestions from the experts out there.

This is pretty good, and is of the American style variety. It's not typically my thing, but it is probably the SWMBO's favourite beer (especially with sushi!).

Have you ever tried to brew an apricot wheat in the style of the macauslan? It's my SWMBO's favorite too, and I would like to produce something similar to help justify all the money I am spending on gear for her!!

Just wondered if you had any advice (as I think it would still be relevant to the thread!)

Thanks
