I'm planning on doing a raspberry beer next. I thought I could do something similar to Lindeman's Framboise, but I'm getting the impression that Lambics are in a class of their own, and aren't really cloneable by standard methods, so I'm just going to try for a semi-wheat fruit ale something or other. I'm shooting for a pretty light bodied ale. This is the recipe I've put together so far:
4.00 lb Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 36.4 %
4.00 lb Wheat Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 36.4 %
1.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 9.1 %
1.00 lb Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 9.1 %
1.00 lb Brown Sugar, Light (8.0 SRM) Sugar 9.1 %
1.00 oz Saaz [4.00%] (20 min) Hops 6.1 IBU
1.00 oz Crystal [3.50%] (10 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
1 Pkgs European Ale (White Labs #WLP011) Yeast-Ale
5.00 lb Raspberries, Fresh/Frozen (Secondary 2.0 weeks) Misc
Does this seem pretty reasonable? This will be the most adventurous brew I've attempted so far, and I'm a little concerned about getting it right.
