Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
3.00 lb Wheat Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 38.71 %
4.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 51.61 %
0.75 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 9.68 %
1.00 oz Glacier [5.60 %] (60 min) Hops 15.1 IBU
2.00 items Lemon Peel, Fresh (Boil 5.0 min) Misc
2.00 items Orange Peel, Fresh (Boil 5.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs Forbidden Fruit (Wyeast Labs #3463) Yeast-Wheat
Mash: 154 degrees for 60 minutes in 2 gallons. Sparge 170 degrees for 10 minutes in 2 gallons. Total boil size 3.5 gallons. (Lost .5 gallons due to grain absorbtion).
This beer ended up being really good and refreshing. Was a big hit with my friends. This one will definitely be on the regular brew list. I used the zest of two each large lemons and oranges. Also, I used the Glacier because I had some of it laying around. But I think cascade would have been really good in this too. The oddball thing about this recipe is the decision to go with Forbidden Fruit. I know it is not appropriate for an "American Wheat", but it worked out really well.
