i decided to name my clone WhoGarden and will design a label that has something to do with this guy:
haven't made a label in a while
anywho *chuckle* here is the all-grain recipe:
here is the partial mash version:
If you have never done a partial mash before, check the link in my sig. it's extremely easy with the method i've laid out and does not require expensive equipment.
if you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message or post in this thread. i would love for other people to join in this experiment and i'm here to help.
This is a wonderful beer to try because it is ready to drink VERY quickly. I could probably have this in a keg and ready to drink 3 weeks from brew day. That means, i could put out 4 of these in 3 months, back to back, perfecting the recipe. sound fun?
tasting this commercial hoegaarden right now, i really do think it is pretty much a 50/50 blend of wheat/barley. i can't wait to taste it fresh!

All temperature measurements are degrees Fahrenheit.
NOTE: If you do all of the extract as a late addition, adjust your bittering hops down to 0.75 oz of 1.9% Styrian Goldings.
The color is a little higher on the PM, it's unavoidable. but it's still VERY close and you can help even more by adding your extract in the last 15 minutes of the boil. turn off the heat and remove from burner, stir in your extract, and then start your boil again. then add your 10 minute hops.
NOTE: I based these recipes on my setup, so check the efficiency against your system and adjust your base grains accordingly (i would add more wheat for adjustment before adding pilsner...keep them pretty even)
If you have never done a partial mash before, check the link in my sig. it's extremely easy with the method i've laid out and does not require expensive equipment.
if you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message or post in this thread. i would love for other people to join in this experiment and i'm here to help.
