For our second brew my friend and I are trying our hand at the below recipe we found online for an Oberon clone. I realize we probably won't get it dead on without harvesting Bell's yeast, but it gives us an opportunity to learn and improve down the road.
Two Questions:
1. Should we do a late addition with the DME to get more accurate coloring?
2. If yes to the above, do we need to adjust the hops portions to account for this?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts / advice.
12 oz Munich & 8 oz Belgian Caravienne at 150° for 30 mins
remove grains and add 2½ lbs light DME & 3½ lbs wheat DME.
Bring to a boil and add:
1 oz Hersbrucker 3.3% for 60
½ oz Hersbrucker 3.3% for 30
½ oz Saaz 3.5% for 15
1/3 oz Saaz 3.5% for 7 minutes
Wyeast 1010 American Wheat yeast
OG: 1.057, FG: 1.014, IBU: 24, SRM: 7, ABV: 5.5%
