Hello, I am pretty new to homebrewing and new to the forums. I am looking to make something similar to Abita Strawberry Lager but with an added orange twist. I think I want to have the strong strawberry taste but with a hint of orange also (Is this even a good idea?).
Anyway, I am looking to order most of the ingredients separately but I am having trouble figuring out what to buy. I have a pamphlet from the Abita brewery that gives info about the beer:
Color: Light Gold
Hops: Vangaurd
Yeast: German lager yeast
Malt: Pilsner and Wheat
I have the means to lager but I don't think I want to actually lager quite yet, so I was thinking of trying to go with a golden ale or wheat beer and then transfer to secondary on top of fresh strawberries and oranges.
So if anyone could point me in the direction of what speciality grains to use / what malt extract to use, or if there is an already made kit that I could buy to do this, I would much appreciate it.
