I have a recipe for a honey wheat ale probably going to turn it into 2 different fruit flavors in the end but was wondernig about some modification to the recipe i was pondering. the recipe is this
2 lbs. Honey
4 lbs of Canadian Wheat syrup
0.25 lbs. Carafoam
1 oz. Liberty Pellets -Bittering (60min)
0.5 oz. Liberty Pellets- Aroma (10min)
pretty simple but a couple things, i had planned on adding the honey at flameout, but the online place i ordered the ingredients from combined both the honey and wheat LME into same container. so i was going to try and seperate the honey and malt when i go to brew as best i can hopefully they stayed somewhat seperated. my idea was to keep the sweet honey flavor i want it for more than just fermentables sugars, also adding that early i'm afraid it will make the beer very dry and not much body.
so i was wondering if 1/4 lb of carafoam is enough to help with the body or should i bounce it up to a 1/2 lb or switch to a 1/2 lb of carapils and also if i should add a 1/4 or 1/2 lb of honey malt as well and try and get the honey flavor in the final beer? or anyone has any other recommendations? i just want a nice refreshing honey wheat beer that will not be too dry and have good body. so when i got to add the blueberry and other flavoring it will companion nicely
thanks!
