I've been rummaging around here, bumped into a few walls but all in all understanding enough to embark on my mission...
Wife really isn't a drinking in any sort of way, she can kill half a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat sixxer... I love wheat beers but 5gallons of cherry flavored beer would eventually get old.
I'd like to be able to maybe maybe 3 gal of wheat, then flavor the other 2 gallons. Is this possible?
I figured set the priming sugar for all 5gal, then once I've bottled 3 gals - add cherry flavoring for 2 gallons - then bottle the rest. Possible?
Will the cherry flavor stuff taste like butt? Am I better off boiling 6lbs of cherries when I make my wort?? Maybe dry hopping the cherries (that may not be the right term)?
Last but never least, what ingredient kit would you guys suggest? I don't care for a Sam Adams clone.
