I just made the jump to all-grain brewing and I'm looking for a good Spring brew. I really want to make something similar to Sam Adams Alpine Spring / Blue Moon. I found a few good belgian white recipes here on the forum. They look really good including the Austin Homebrew Blue moon clone, Saison Furtif, Blue Balls Belgian Wit. Some of those are partial mash recipes but I want to truly do all grain/wheat haha. I'm planning on gathering the ingredients on Saturday so I can have it ready asap. Thanks in advance.
Here is what I have thus far straight from the Austin Brew:
Ingredients:
Amount Item Type % or IBU
5.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 50.0 %
3.00 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 30.0 %
1.00 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 10.0 %
1.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 10.0 %
0.50 oz Cascade [6.90%] (45 min) Hops 10.0 IBU
0.50 oz Cascade [6.90%] (10 min) Hops 3.9 IBU
0.18 oz Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
0.18 oz Orange Peel, Sweet (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
0.35 oz Coriander Seed (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs Belgian Wit Ale (White Labs #WLP400) Yeast-Wheat
Mash Profile
Name: Double Infusion, Medium Body
Mash Grain Weight: 10.00 lb
Grain Temperature: 72.0 F S
parge Temperature: 168.0 F
Sparge Water: 3.79 gal
Name Description Step Temp Step Time
Protein Rest Add 10.00 qt of water at 131.1 F 122.0 F 30 min
Saccrification Add 7.00 qt of water at 208.0 F 154.0 F 30 min
Mash Out Direct Heat to 168.0 F over 2 min 168.0 F 10 min
I am thinking about switching out the Cascade aroma for Citra as they are available here and I like them.
Among other pointers, any advice for maybe eliminating the oats and adding in a little Vienna malt or other? Again, Thank you all in advance.
