I'm making this for my girlfriend who is a huge harry potter fan and I'm just kinda winging it. I'm posting a 5 gallon batch but I'm only doing 2.5 in case it just completely blows.
But if anyone has any input on the recipe I'd sure appreciate before I take the plunge into brewing it.
I'm going for a STRONG
cream ale, but with huge body and really nice head retention.
9lbs American Wheat
3lbs Flaked Barley (head retention and body)
2lbs flaked rice (Alcohol Content)
1lb 12oz American crystal 10L
1.5lbs Carapils (Body)
1.5lbs Caramel Wheat Malt
2oz Ahtanum Hops (bittering)
1oz liberty Hops (finishing)
1lb lactose (5min boil)
1lb butter (2 weeks secondary)
Aiming for around 1.090 OG
Any input would be great!
