Hey - new to brewing. My first batch was an Irish Red extract kit from Midwest. Turned out surprisingly good! Wife and I downed the last of it this week. My second batch is in the fermenter - a Boulevard Pale Ale clone extract kit from the LHBS.
Working on my very first recipe. Wanting to step away from the kit and start making up my own creations! So, here is my attempt to try something interesting. I plan on getting all my ingredients from Austin Homebrew Supply.
6# Wheat LME
1# White Wheat (grains)
1 oz Nelson Sauvin Pellet Hops
1 oz Sorachi Ace Pellet Hops
Danstar Munich German Wheat Dry Yeast
1. Still haven't decided on my hop schedule, but would like some advice. The basic plan is to use the Nelson for flavoring hops and the Sorachi near the end of the boil.
2. Trying to come up with a citrusy, fruity wheat beer without using actual fruit. Maybe my yeast choice will impact this effort?
3. I will attempt a mini-mash with the 1 lb of white wheat to help with body and head rentention. Should I add more of this grain to the mini mash with this goal in mind?
