Hey everybody I will be brewing a white, wheat, something another this weekend and would like a critique on a recipe I came up with. My first ever batch of beer tasted like farts and rotten eggs (brewers best witbier recipe). I'll admit I rushed the heck out of it. 1 week primary, then bottles for maybe a week. I plan on letting this ferment as long as needed, 3-4 weeks or so, and carb up for 3 in the bottles. With that said I took a look at the Blue Balls blue moon clone recipe, one of the threads with the old Blue Moon brewer (cant remember the name and I apologize), and wanted something with a nice creamy/thick mouthfeel of the florida cracker (cigar city) belgian wheat. I also wanted a little twist with grapefruit instead of orange. Anywho here goes! Please critique away!
