so im trying to make a Blackberry wheat for a friend's uncle. I've never made a wheat beer before so im not sure exactly what it needs to be considered a wheat beer. but i know hes not a beer connoisseur so it doesnt need to be within any strict guide lines. hes basically looking for a nice blackberry session beer with wheat characteristics. with that said it doesn't need to be over complicated.
this is what i have so far.
6.00 lbs of pale 2 row
3.00 lbs of flaked wheat
1.00 lb of munich malt(not sure if it fits but i love the taste of it in small increments)
.50 oz cent hops 60
.25 oz cent hops 30
.25 oz cent hops 0
2 pounds of blackberries (fresh or frozen?) when ever i get around to it in secondary until i feel its ready. i try to keep schedules, but i suck at it sticking to it, so im not gunna set one. but a few concerns were
1. will the malt work together to make a nice easy drinking wheaty body?
2. will the hops and malts work with the black berries, or is there a type of hop that does better in fruit beers?
3. i know its all just opinion, but which would be the best form of black berries to add. no extract.
