I have always used the meat of the fresh mangoes. Never had a problem with head retention or anything but I've done 2 runs. Maybe it's because you used the frozen chunks. Glad you got the good mango flavor and the slight tingle aftertaste of the habanero. Sounds like you nailed it!

Not sure if I mentioned this, this recipe placed in a North Carolina Homebrew competition recently 3rd place. It was my second batch of it. My first batch was much better I thought, I only added 1 Hab to secondary the second time. so next year I'm going to go back to 2 Habs and go for first...

Agreed. Mango doesnt add much flavor but blends nice with the citra hops for aroma and a sweet flavor that mixes well with the heat in my opinion

Also 12-15 mangoes sounds like a lot. But those suckers are a pain to cut up. I prefer not to take a lot of time cutting them up and probably lose a good amount of them when I'm cutting but mangoes are no fun to deal with.

Yeah secondary only. Honestly with the way I have it you're not getting a mango taste. You're just mellowing out the wheat beer taste and countering the habanero, which somehow works out perfect. The cites hops are giving a majority of the mango smell. This beer smells unreal. In my opinion you...

This recipe just took 3rd in a North Carolina Homebrew Competition

Give it a try and let us know! That actually sounds great. I did mangos because I'm a mango habanero Buffalo Wild Wings fanatic

im referring to the habanero that is added to the boil. the other two should be added to secondary for no more than 48 hours

Im just brewing this again now and saw your comment. how did the brew go? the one thing i didnt write on here or in my notes is if i took the habanero out before i put into primary. im 98% sure i took it out but now im second guessing myself. it would be too hot if i kept it in but then...

12 whole mangoes, chopped up. Dont put them all in at once do like 7 up front when you rack secondary, and then add 2 a day after 10 days in secondary for the remaining 6/7. does that make sense?

60 should be fine on the boil. I boiled for 75 to lose some more liquid to try to get closer to 5 gallons cause my preboil volume was higher than I wanted. If youre doing extract stick with the standard 60 min boil. I think youre pretty good with the stock wheat beer recipe like you got and...

the habaneros shouldnt be left for more than a day or 2! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/mango-habanero-wheat-ale-403829/

Did a Siason last night with 10.5# pilsner. Got the same crud looking stuff. Must be that type of grain.

Everything seems to compliment each other perfectly. i have had numerous people, including non beer drinkers say they really enjoy it. im not going to change anything for at least 1 more batch because it turned out so well and i plan to enter it in a hombrew competition. the smell is magical...

Killer Killer beer!

Just bottled this masterpiece last night. I have to say, the smell was quite possibly the best smelling beer you could imagine. Very rich mango smell, with a slight variance caused by the habs. As for the taste: Excellent as well, super refreshing, it has a slight "tingle" that goes away in...

Just brewed this up yesterday: All grain: 5# German Wheat 4.5# 2 Row 1# Rice Hulls Mash 152* (60) Fly Sparge 168* (45) Boil additions: (75) 1oz Styrian Goldings (60) 1 Habanero cut in half and deseeded, prefrozen in starsan (20) 1oz Citra (15) 1oz Citra (0) Yeast: WLP 001 California Ale...

So here is a new one... I fill up my primary bucket with water and Starsan about 15 mins prior to finishing my boil and drop my wort chiller in to give it a good sanitizing. Place the bucket in its normal spot (on the ground below the microwave). 15 mins later my boil is done; so I put in my...

im sure it says somewhere on these 191 pages but what color bottle should i use? green bottle like a woodchuck? or clear or brown? i guess it wont matter too much since it has little hops but does anyone have a suggestion

so good
