Found a recipe in the byo.com archive for a white chocolate pale ale I was interested in trying and was wondering if anyone has done something like it before. Everyone I've spoken with so far has looked at me like I'm crazy for wanting to try a recipe like this and although it does seem a little out there, I feel like it might be pretty good. Any thoughts?
Here is the recipe:
5 gallons, extract with grains OG = 1.048, FG = 1.012, IBU = 24
Ingredients:
8 oz. light crystal malt (30° Lovibond)
4 oz. malted wheat
5 lbs. light dry malt extract
8 oz. white chocolate chips
4 AAU Cascade hops (2/3 oz. of 6% alpha acid)
4 AAU Willamette hops (2/3 oz. of 6% alpha acid)
2 AAU Tettnang hops (1/2 oz. of 4% alpha acid)
1 pint starter American Ale yeast (White Labs WLP008 or Wyeast 1272)
1/2 cup dry malt extract to prime
1 cup white creme de cocoa
