Ahoy!
This will be only my second brew, but I'm trying to branch out a bit on my own. I'm modifying a recipe from Papazian's book ("Phat Fired Weizenbock", p 195), to incluide buckwheat honey, with some other mods as well.
Please give me input, before I go running off and spending money.
-----------------
Hoist Thee Blacke Flag - Buckwheat Honey Weizenbock
Malts,etc:
4.5 lbs Wheat/barley LME (does this mean half wheat, half barley? The orig. recipe is unclear)
2.5 lbs Buckwheat Honey
1.5 lbs Amber light DME
1 lb Crystal malt (dark)
1/4 Lb Chocolate malt
1/4 lb German Caraffe (black debittered) malt
Hops:
1.5 oz German Spalt (classic) - 60 mins
1 oz American Tettnanger - 5 mins
1 oz Santiam - 2 mins
Yeast:
German wheat beer yeast - I have saved some from my last honey-wheat, which should be cool if it didn't die.
Priming:
1/2 cup buckwheat honey.
------------------------------------------------
So. Thoughts? Suggestions? Any help will be appreciated; if it is especially helpful, I may send you some "live yeast samples" as a token of gratitude.
Haha, I'd do that anyway. I'm cool like that.
Thanks in advance!
