I am trying to come with a relatively cheap to produce, easy to drink, easy on the palate ale to keep on tap all the time. Personally I love IPA's, APA's, etc..etc... but for some of my friends and even my wife, beers like kolsch are even to "distinctive" for them to drink. I know......it sucks.
So I am thinking of making something highly attenuated, with notes of honey and virtually no hop character for my wife and friends. Here is what I am thinking
3 pounds pilsen
3 pounds two row
2 pounds wheat
1 pound honey malt
1 pound table sugar
14 IBU of whatever
no finishing hops
I have pacman, , WLP001, WLP007 and WLP500 all on my radar for this one.
I am thinking that 500 fermented about 72 might give a nice fruitiness.....but I also know that WLP001 or pacman will really, really attenuate it and leave it clean.
