The fiancee wants some fruity beers and doesn't particularly like the IPA's I brew as they are too bitter (my favorite style to brew). I decided for her I'd start with a blonde ale base, and I picked up some wildberry fruit juice concentrate (apple, raspberry, and pineapple juices in the ingredients). Right now I've started my mash with a target batch of 3 gallons, and I've used 3 lbs of Maris Otter as a base, 1.5 lbs of Flaked Rice (for clarity and crispness), and .5 lbs of Cara Munich II for color.
I'm mashing at 152 *F. I opened the fridge and realized I'm all out of US-05 and while I ordered some just now, it won't be here in time.
What I do have on hand :
S-04
WB-06
T-58
I'm leaning towards the WB-06 for its estery characteristics
ban
but perhaps the S-04 would be better overall.
She really likes Redd's Ales so I'm kind of aiming for that kind of sweetness, but with lots more character and a more crafty type of beer.
Thanks!
