My wife is not much of a beer drinker (I am trying to change that). Most of what she likes are really light lagers and pilsners, mexican cerveza (Sol, Pacifico, etc.) and some fruit beers (razzwheats and lambics mostly). Since summer is approaching and we spend a lot of time by the pool, I would like to formulate something unique for her to try. She likes Pina Coladas, so I was thinking of the following (since this is experimental, it is a 2.5 gallon batch):
3.3 lbs Wheat LME
1/2 lbs Carapils
1/4 lbs Crystal Malt 20L
.5oz Hallertau (3.9%) -- (60 mins)
.25 oz Cascade (7.8%) -- (20 mins)
.25 oz Hallertau (3.9%) -- (10 mins)
Here is the interesting part, which I hope will work:
3 oz Coconut Cream (flameout)
1 oz Pineapple Extract (flameout)
10 oz Dark Rum (Bottling)
I read a lot of posts about the difficulty of using pineapple. So, does anyone think that this will work or does anyone see any potential problems? Also, do I need to lessen my priming sugar to account for the sugars in the coconut cream?
Thanks for your help.
