Fermentables
9.9lb Briess Pilsen Light (Late Boil)
1lb Acidulated Malt (Steeped)
1lb Victory malt (Steeped)
1lb Crystal 20 (Steeped)
Hop Schedule
60 - 1 oz Amarillo
15 - 1 oz Amarillo
05 - 2 oz Amarillo
00 - 1 oz Amarillo
Primary Additions
49oz Peach Puree
18oz Dried Mangoes
Secondary Additions
0.25oz Ghost Pepper
2oz Amarillo
Yeasts
2 vials White Labs San Francisco Lager
1 vial White Labs Brettanomyces Lambicus (to add in secondary)
Notes
I am making a similar mead with the peach puree, mangoes, and ghost pepper, and friends encouraged me to do a steam beer as well. I didn't think my ultra traditional, very piney traditional steam would do well, so I swapped out Northern Brewer for Amarillo for the orangeish aroma (using orange blossom honey in the mead). The malt profile was the same as my first steam, save for an extra 3.3lb of Pilsen light.
Thoughts / call me an idiot?
