Hey everyone. I'm looking to build off a wheat recipe I made as my first AG BIAB batch. I want a nice, citrus-honey flavored wheat, here's what I have so far:
6lbs wheat
4lbs 2 row
1lb honey malt
.5oz centennial at 60mins
.5oz cascade at 15 minutes
.5oz cascade at 5 minutes
.5 oz of crushed coriander at 5 mins,
I plan on zesting a few oranges, maybe one lemon as well for flameout.
It's not exactly "true to style," just looking to make a delicious wheat based beer.
What whitelabs yeast do you like that work well with orangey-honey type wheats?
What are your thoughts on my hop additions? I'm really looking for something that accentuates the citrus honey flavors. Should I axe the 5 minute additions?
If I'm working with Poland Spring bottled water, do you suggest any water additions to get the desired effect?
Also, is this too much honey malt? I'm looking for a pronounced honey flavor...I added a lb of clove honey in my last wheat batch, and of course it all fermented out, haha.
I'm super-new with brewing in general, let alone AG/BIAB. All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
