I recently had a beer tasting party and the winner was Tank 7. It is certainly one of my favorite beers. I thought I'd try to make something similar. Here's what I tried, based on any other threads I could find about this beer:
10 lbs. 2 row
1 lbs. Vienna (I added this just to see what happened)
3 lbs. flaked corn
2 lbs. colorado white wheat
.2 lbs. acidulated malt
Mashed at 150
Hops:
.25 Magnum for 55 minutes
.25 simcoe for 20 minutes
the rest of my Amarillo (2.5 oz?) for 5 mins.
I decided to try WLP670, as I wouldn't mind a little sour funk, and the guy at the homebrew shop seemed to think this would come closest to the yeast they used, plus the funky Tank 7 effects....
My OG came out to 1.078, so right on what I'd hoped! Hoping this comes out tasty. Any thoughts are welcome.
