Hi all ,
Edit:
Wondering if anyone has a basic recipe for a witbier (LME) that i could modify to suit my needs or if anyone has enough knowledge that its easy for them to put together a simple recipe... also is there anything bad with adding actual juices of oranges (fermenting into methanol?) and should i add flaked wheat...ive never done a partial mash but hear i could do such a thing..? Thanks
Thusfar my recipe looks like:
3lb wheat dme
3lb pilsen light or golden light lme ( which one should i use)
steep 1lb flaked wheat for 35 minutes at 70C or should i use wheat malt
steep 0.5lb crystal 10 with wheat
steep 0.1lb carared
steep 0.15lb amber malt
steep 0.25lb honey malt
1oz crystal (they dont have strissespalt at my store) for 60
1oz crystal for 15
0.5 oz citra at flameout
irish moss 1tsp for 15
zest of 2 oranges soaked in vodka overnight in secondary
1tsp coriander for 5
i cant really understand how much lme or dme i have to add so this is baed on my basic ideas...any thing im doing wrong in the recipe?
I was looking to brew a kronenbourg blanc clone but was wondering how i might do so or if its possible using extract. I dont have the equipment to do all grain brews (new to brewing) so was wondering if i could make a light LME beer and add the additives in this recipe: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/182011/
Was also wondering what they mean by "Oranges and zest (vodka tincture added to keg) " how would i add this. Could i add oranges to secondary, or would the oranges end up fermenting and creating off flavors?
Was thinking of using a light ale recipe, making it light as possible (using flaked wheat steep or a lighter barley roast) and keeping it clear with irish moss etc. Im thinking the flavor would not be exactly kronenbourg but would be very good. I dont have wheat lme or know if they make such a thing but would be doing all barley.
EDIT: they do have bavarian wheat dme at my homebrew store http://www.barleyshomebrewing.com/
