Allagash White Clone

I am looking for an Allagash White recipe, I have read the thread on here. I was wondering if someone has made this and they feel good about the hop schedule and spices. From what I have read it sounds like the grain bill is pretty solid.

I have made my own recipe comparing to an Allagash White beer based on what my SWMBO tends to like. We tasted beers side by side and love this one for 5.5G:

5# 2 Row
5# white wheat
1# Flaked Oats
1 oz Tettnanger 60 min full boil
(Look for 15 IBU so 4AA% Tettnanger usually is close)
1 oz Sweet Orange Peel, dehydrated, added 5 min til Flameout
2 gram Brewers Grain of Paradise, lightly cracked 5 min til flameout
1 sachet US-05

Mash at 150F for 60 min. Boil 60 minutes. Only one hop addition. Light bittering, hops are not a dominate player.


This beer is quite light and very "whitish" colored. The grains of paradise addition instead of coriander is probably the biggest difference.

A couple suggestions...

1) Sub flaked white or red wheat for the malted whilte wheat. You want some unmalted wheat to give the beer a toasted, cracker-like flavor.

2) Dial the coriander way back. Go with no more than .25 ounce. Indian coriander is pretty potent stuff. I brewed a witbier last summer and used .4 ounce Indian coriander (finger crushed) and it was too much. I made a note to reduce to .25 ounce next time.

Let us know how this one turns out. I'm particularly curious about how the Chai plays in this.
