One of my brew buddies wants to do a blackberry wheat, and after some research came up with the following recipe, mostly pilfered from "Brewing Classic Styles".
Do you guys think this will turn out okay? I'm not too concerned about color, I'm more interested in flavor.
Malt:
5.6# two-row
5.6# wheat malt
0.5# Crystal (15L)
Hops:
0.85oz Willamette 60 min
Fruit:
3# puree or parboiled fresh blackberries (whichever is cheaper), secondary for 14 days
Yeast:
1 pkg US-05 (rehydrated)
Stats:
Pre-boil = 7 gallons, 5.5 gallons into the fermenter
OG = ~1.050 (before fruit, don't know how to calculate the fruit addition)
FG = ~1.015 (my guess after the fruit ferments out)
IBU = 18
