So I wanted to a wheat beer w/ some spiciness to it and also use amarillo hops to give some hop flavor to it. Mainly I think I am pretty good with the grain bill but was looking for some feedback on the hops and yeast. Here is what I was looking at. My wife seems to think citrusy flavors and spiciness don't go together but she doesn't drink beer so yea...lol
Batch size 5.5 gallons
Grain bill: (assuming 70 % efficiency)
Red Wheat 5 lbs (50%)
2-row 4 lbs (40%)
Rye 1 lb (10%)
rice hulls
Hop schedule (total expected IBUs about 27)
1 oz amarillo FWH (AA 8.2%)
1 oz amarillo 5 minutes to end of boil (AA 8.2%)
Yeast
Safbrew T-58
I was originally going for this to be an american wheat so I don't know if the yeast changes that but I originally picked this yeast because i read its supposed to give some peppery/spicy flavors. I plan on fermenting in the mid/low 60s
Thanks. Feel free to critique away.
