In a few weeks I'm headed to the Mardi Gras celebration in St. Louis with a group of friends. I was asked to bring a beer that was "light, something the girls would drink" but would be good for standing out in the cold for several hours. Thus, I brewed a wheat beer with a bit of kick (more of a kick than I was expecting). Here's the 5-gallon recipe:
6 gallons of tap water added to the brew pot and heated to about 155(F), steeping the grains for 60 minutes:
- .5 lb Munich malt
- .5 lb Crystal 20L malt
Heated to 170(F) and removed the grains and brought it to a boil and added:
- 1 oz Perle whole leaf hops (7.9% A.A.)
Boiled for 50 minutes and added:
- 6.6 lbs wheat liquid malt extract (Muntons and Briess)
- 4 lbs corn sugar
- .5 oz Cascade pellet hops (6.3% A.A.)
Boiled for 15 minutes and added:
- .5 oz Cascade pellet hops (6.3% A.A.)
Boiled for 2 minutes, removed from the boil and cooled wort.
The gravity was 1.084 (a bit higher than I expected.
I used Pacman yeast and it's been bubbling away for about a week now.
