Sam Adams, this is not. Strong and hoppy, I have brewed this beer with great success (warning: although it is an extract beer, the process is fairly complicated).
3.5 gal water
8 oz Torrified wheat
8 oz Carapils
(steeping grains)
6.6# Wheat DME
0.75 oz Saaz (60 min)
1# demerara sugar (20 min)
0.75 oz Cascade (15 min)
0.75 oz Amarillo (0 min)
5# cherries, pitted--add pits, too (0 min)
In a separate pot:
1 gal water
2.5# dried cherries, chopped
Bring to boil as same time as main pot, then kill flame, allowing to steep for much of the boil. Keep covered, except to add 0.25 oz each Saaz, Cascade, and Amarillo, at 60, 15, and 0 min.
Puree in sanitized food processor or blender @ 0 min, then add to main pot
Wyeast 3522
When vigorous initial fermentation subsides, feed beer 2 oz Wheat DME and 1 oz demerara sugar, dissolved in 2 cups boiling water, daily for 8 days.
Dry hop w/ 1 oz Summit, 14 days before bottling.
US-05 for bottling
