Two weeks ago I brewed up what was basically Schlenkerla's Oberdorfer Wessbier Clone. I reserved 1 gallon, which is now sitting on cranberries in a secondary - I'm transferring it to a tertiary in a few days to clarify, and then bottling.
LAST week I made some more modifications to the Oberdorfer Clone, and used this recipe:
I'd like to reserve another gallon for fruit additions: I opened a test bottle of the original wheat, and I really liked it, but I don't think it's crisp enough tasting for SWMBO. I was thinking lemon zest might help (I know it's a wheat beer, so it's never going to be a lager,) but I'm looking for suggestions. Grapefruit? MORE bitter orange? Lemon RIND instead of ZEST? Lemon wedges?
