I'm going to sell my last thread, which was the same style: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/keegan-ales-hurricane-kitty-clone-329411/ Everyone I've fed it to has liked quite a bit, and I'll probably do a 5gal batch of the 50/50 blend this weekend.

Keep us posted. Mine is all gone - it disappeared pretty quick when I brought the remainder to a party last weekend.

To set the stage, flying blind we created two attempts at Hurricane Kitty. The first recipe is above, and the second attempt was made by reducing the amount of 2-row by 4oz and increasing the Crystal 60 by 4oz. The hop bill & mash profile stayed the same. Finally got a chance to compare my...

My beer turned out a pleasant pink. We put it up against Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat, which wasn't really fair, but that was the original goal. With 4lbs6oz of Blackberries, the beer has a distinct berry taste & color - it's reasonably prominent, not as much as a Raspberry wheat or other fruit...

Cold crashing stops fermentation and helps the suspended bits settle, making the beer a bit clearer. I was somewhat emulating a Lomg Trail Blackberry wheat, so I did whatever I could to clear the beer short of using gelatin. I'm sure the wife-and-family won't mind a lagering fridge in the...

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead. It seems that there are hundreds of Blackberry wheat threads & recipes on the forum here, so I was a bit overwhelmed when I got inspired to make one. I landed here, since I'm familiar with the Weihenstephaner clone from the "Beer Captured" book...

After taking the comments here into consideration, here's what I ended up with for attempt 1: (5gal finished volume, mini-mash) 3lbs8oz US 2-row Pale 8oz US Crystal 10L 8oz US Crystal 60L 5lbs10oz Extra Light DME 1.1oz Columbus 13.9%aa for 60m 1.25oz Cascade 6.2%aa for 15m (+ whirlfloc) 1.67oz...

Thanks - I'll shuffle the recipe around a bit with these recommendations - definitely looking for a drier style. Now I just need more time...

I've been doing Mini-mash brewing for about a year now, and have been trolling the forums for inspiration (I think I'll wait until I get my all-grain setup running this summer before trying the DFH 120s!). I've gotten far enough along to start being adventurous, and I'm thinking about putting...
