I am making a wheat ale and plan to add rhubarb and cardamom. Here is my extract recipe:
SG: 1.042-46 FG: 1.012-1.017
6 lbs. Wheat LME
8 oz. Carapils specialty grain
.5 oz Hallertau hops for 60 min.
.5 oz Hallertau hops for 2 min.
White Labs California Ale Yeast WL001
Rhubarb in secondary
Here are the questions I have:
When do I add the cardamom?
Also, rhubarb can be pretty tart. Would it be wise to use lactose to balance it out or should I use maltodextrin? Or neither? If I do use one, how much should I use?
I just began brewing in January and this is for a contest in my town. Any comments will be helpful.
Thanks!
