So my 11 year old daughter has expressed an interested with brewing with me. Now being as that I've only done one batch of beer, I'm a little new on the recipe front and I'm trying to come up with something that meets her appearance interests in the final product.
The two criteria that she has set is that the beer be cloudy and that the beer be red. Based on that my thought was that I'd have to include wheat and I could get by with some of the "red" ale recipes.
My interest is more towards brewing Milds/Session beers so l came up with the following. I think it should be red, but I'm not sure if that level of wheat will get a "cloudy" beer.
Any opinions? I was basically trying for what should be a nice mild, and then replaced a chunk of base malt with wheat.
