It's almost strawberry season here and looking to brew a test batch Strawberry Blonde (2 gal). For this batch I'll probably start with 3 lbs of berries.
Couple questions:
I found this recipe but not sure what purpose flaked corn would be. Not sure if corn flavor would be right for this. Thoughts?
Also, not sure how Cascade/Saaz hops would work with strawberries. Should i stay with this hops or go with something else?
As for the strawberries best to just add to secondary and rack on top or put strawberries in a paint strainer bag?
68.1% Pilsner
14.9% German Pale Wheat
8.5% Carapils
8.5% Flaked Corn
8 lb fresh frozen strawberries, halved
Cascade at 60
Saaz at 20 & 10
Notty or US05
OG: 1.051
FG: 1.012
ABV: 5.1%
IBU: 25
