I have this unquenchable urge to brew a fruit lager. I envision the clean smoothness of lager yeast to be a nice canvass to allow the fruit to shine through. Im high on the idea of using apple in particular. I think one would need a pale base, a touch of wheat for some head retention characteristics, and a bit of dextrine malt to lend a hint of sweetness. Here is what Im thinking:
Applager
1.050 OG
1.012 FG
4.8 SRM
20 IBU
4.9% ABV
78% Golden Promise
15% White Wheat
7% Cara Foam
.750 oz Sterling 60 Mins
.750 oz Liberty 15 Mins
White Labs WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast
5 Lbs pureed Granny Smith Apples in secondary
1 oz Apple Extract at bottling
Has anybody ever done anything similar?
