Hi All,
I'm trying to recreate an American Wheat from a local Brew Pub and I'm hoping to get some help figuring out how to put together an extract recipe based on what I know about the original. The brew-pub describes the beer as "An American version of the popular South German Style wheat beer brewed with a 70/30 blend of barley and wheat."
A friend that works at the brew-pub talked to the brewmaster and got this "recipe" (this is exactly as written):
- 50/50 2-Row / White Wheat
- 15 IBU's
- Hops @ 60 & 30
- American Ale yeast
- German Hops
Being an extract brewer with only ~ 10 brews under my belt I have a decent idea of what this means, and I think I get the hop and yeast needs, but I'm struggling with what LME or DME and specialty grains I can use to recreate this. I generally do full boil extract.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, including any thoughts on yeast or hops to use. I'm thinking af getting Beer Smith to play around and maybe figure out hop additions, etc to get to the 15 IBUs.
Thanks, Again!
Josh
