so, SWMBO is a fan of the lambics...i don't have the space/time/patience/requisite skill or knowledge to delve into that yet...so what i'm doing is trying to develop a tart wheat recipe to get close to it.
What say you!?!
Mini-mash
2.5# Belgian pils
.5# carapils
.5# aromatic
5lbs of wheat extract
1oz saas, two zested orange peels, 1oz lemongrass @ 60m
1oz crystal, 1/8oz Coriander @ 15
WLP001 yeast
I was thinking of getting a pound of sour cherries for the secondary. I know that will up the gravity, should i repitch on that or add water? I like the WLP for some of my summer wheats, but if someone has something better? Maybe safbrew t-58?
if i can nail this down, it will make brewdays much smoother, and more frequent, as she will become exponentially more supportive of my...hobby
