Hi all,
I'm looking to design a great light summer beer that is extremely thirst quenching, sounds easy right? But there is a catch it has to be something that non beer drinkers would want to drink. So i have decided to brew a blonde ale infused with raspberry hoping that it will win over non beer lovers. I would love to get some feed back on the recipe before i brew it because i have no experience with fruit beers.
Batch Size - 5.5 Gallons
Mash efficiency - 76%
Original Gravity - 1.044
Final Gravity - 1.009
ABV - 4.5%
IBU - 20
Mash Temp - 150 degrees
Boil - 60 Minutes
8 lbs Great Western 2-Row
.5 lbs Flaked Wheat
.25 lbs Crystal 20l
.5 oz Magnum Hops 13.8AA 60 min
6 Lbs Raspberries (secondary)
Wyeast American Ale II
Primary Fermentation 7 days
Secondary fermentation 10 days
The raspberries woud be mashed up and boiled and for 10 minutes before adding them to the secondary. I hop this will cause a pectin haze, and kill any bacteria in the berries.
