So its that time of year when a good refresher needs to be available . I thought a nice wheat with some citrusy tones (I don't want to use any rinds or peels) would be nice.
I would love a critique, particularly of the Crystal 120 for color (will that work?) and of dry hopping with an ounce of both cascade and amarillo (will that be overpowering and disrupt the delicate flavors of a wheat beer?).
Thanks in advance!
I BIAB so its double crushed grains.
5 gallon batch
6 gallon boil
4Lbs 2 Row (38.3%)
4.5lbs Belgian Wheat (43.1%)
10oz Munich (6.0%)
8oz Melanodin (4.8%)
4oz Torrified Wheat (2.4%)
0.5oz Crystal 120 (.03%) - Its leftover and I want a light hazy orange color
1oz Hallertauer First Wort Hopping (30 mins)
1oz Hallertauer 60 mins
0.5oz Cascade 0 mins
0.5oz Amarillo 0 mins
0.5oz Cascade Dry Hop 7 Days
0.5oz Amarillo Dry Hop 7 Days
Mash BIAB at 152 for 80 Minutes
Mashout at 170 for 10 Minutes
Pitch with 1/2 Gallon Starter of Wyeast 1010 - American Wheat
Beersmith SRM ~5.9
Beersmith ABV ~6.2
Beersmith IBU ~27.1 (Tinseth)
Beersmith OG 1.060
Beersmith FG 1.013
Edit: Alright cut the Saaz and adjusted hopping schedule. What do you guys think?
