F.G.: 1.008-1.010
Bitterness: 18BU
Colour: 4SRM (8 EBC)
Alcohol: 6.3% by volume

Add malt extract, honey, and boiling hops to 7.5L water and boil for 60 mins. Add the flavor hops, ground coriander and orange peel for the final 5 minutes. Add the aroma hops for the final 1-2 minutes of boiling. Strain, sparge, and transfer immediately to 7.5L of cold water in the fermenter. Top off with additional water to make 19L. Aaerate the wort very well. Pitch the yeast when the temperature of the wort is about 21C. Ferment at about 21C for about 1 week or when fermentatino shows signs of calming and stopping.
Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when fermentation is complete. For added attraction add one whole coriander seed to each bottle when bottling (microwave them if worried).

Notes: This was delicious. I got delayed during secondary, which meant that it sat on the coconut chips for a total of 41 days before bottling! I think this was the secret to the intense smootheness.

Notes: Done as a kettle sour. Perform mash, sparge and lauter as usual. Once desired volume is in kettle, perform quick 10 minute boil to kill any bacteria. Chill to 95*F and add lactic acid to drop pH to 4.0-4.4. Add Omega OYL-605 and let sour until pH 3.2 is reached (or desired sourness).

After kettle souring is complete, move to boil and proceed as usual. Use 2 packs of US-05 yeast for fermentation due to sour level being unfavorable for yeast.

After primary fermentation complete, mash up cranberries and rack beer into secondary fermenter on top of the cranberries. 7 days is my standard for this one but adjust as desired.

Notes: JT's base recipe, modified a little by me. This is a little bigger than a standard brown porter.

Using medium toast french (I'm using american) oak wood cubes, soak 30 in gold rum and 30 in white rum for a month. (15 of each per 5 gallons)

Using Hugh Baird C50/C60 instead of American C40 and Maris Otter instead of 2-row.

In secondary (keg), add these until it tastes good (approximately 6-8 weeks).

JT mashed at 154 and used cascade hops.

Notes: STYLE: American Wheat or Rye Beer

Back to Styles List

Aroma: Low to moderate grainy wheat or rye character. Some malty sweetness is acceptable. Esters can be moderate to none, although should reflect American yeast strains. The clovey and banana aromas common to German hefeweizens are inappropriate. Hop aroma may be low to moderate, and can have either a citrusy American or a spicy or floral noble hop character. Slight sourness is optional. No diacetyl.

Appearance: Usually pale yellow to gold. Clarity may range from brilliant to hazy with yeast approximating the German hefeweizen style of beer. Big, long-lasting white head.

Flavor: Light to moderately strong grainy wheat or rye flavor, which can linger into the finish. May have a moderate malty sweetness or finish quite dry. Low to moderate hop bitterness, which sometimes lasts into the finish. Low to moderate hop flavor (citrusy American or spicy/floral noble). Esters can be moderate to none, but should not take on a German Hefeweizen character (banana). No clove phenols, although a light spiciness from wheat or rye is acceptable. May have a slight tartness in the finish. No diacetyl.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Medium-high to high carbonation. May have a light alcohol warmth in stronger examples. Overall Impression: Refreshing wheat or rye beers that can display more hop character and less yeast character than their German cousins.

Comments: Different variations exist, from an easy-drinking fairly sweet beer to a dry, aggressively hopped beer with a strong wheat or rye flavor. Dark versions approximating dunkelweizens are acceptable (and can have some darker, richer malt flavors in addition to the color). ASSUMED.

Ingredients: Clean American ale yeast, but also can be made as a lager. Large proportion of wheat malt (often 50% or more, but this isn't a legal requirement as in Germany). American or noble hops. American Rye Beers can follow the same general guidelines, substituting rye for some or all of the wheat. Other base styles (e.g., IPA, stout) with a noticeable rye character should be entered in the specialty character. THE BREWER SHOULD SPECIFY IF RYE IS USED; IF NO DOMINANT GRAIN IS SPECIFIED, WHEAT WILL BE
