I put together this recipe in hopes of a simple refreshing cherry beer recipe. please let me know if i should change anything:
all grain:
5# 2 row
5# wheat
.5 oz Columbus 60 min
1 oz Columbus 5 min
.5 cascade flame out
mash about 154
add 3 lbs frozen dark sweet cherries (thawed and boiled 15 min) add to primary 5 days after beginning of fermentation
beer smith estimates 5.6% before i add cherries to fermentor
im relying on the cherries to bring color to the beer.
im also not sure how much the cherries will boost alcohol .
i plan on using white labs English ale yeast or maybe California ale yeast. i like the English ales flocculation though.
i was also thinking of dry hopping with 1 oz centennial and 1 oz amarillo
let me know what you guys think. thanks:rockin:
