I've been reading "Brewing with Wheat" by Stan Hieronymus and I came across a really small section that mentions a new style of beer called the "wheat Wine". It's brewed to a barleywine strength, but the book quotes it's vital statistics as follows:
Gold to amber in color
Crafted from 50% or more wheat malt
Full body & Hugh residual sweetness
IBU's are moderate to low with low to moderate hop aroma and flavor
Fruity ester characters are counterbalanced by complexity of alcohols and high alcohol content. >10% ABV
I plan on crafting a wheat Wine within the next several weeks. Otherwise i would get started this weekend on it. I'm heading to Munich for Oktoberfest this this weekend. So I don't have time at the moment...what do you guys think?
