Notes

3 lb DME - Bavarian Wheat Malt Extract from Briess
3 lbs DME - Pilsen Light
1oz. Liberty hops
.5. Saaz hops
6lbs strawberries
40oz rhubarb
1lb cane sugar
Yeast: German Wheat 3333 - High flocculation, 73-77% attenuation, 63-75° ferm temp. Sharp, tart crispness, fruity, sherry-like palate.

Add 3 gallons of water to pot and bring to boil.
Take off of heat and add DME while stirring.
Bring back to boil for 70 min.
Add .5oz Liberty hops (70 min)
Add .5oz Saaz hops (30 min)
Add .5oz Liberty hops (10 min)
Take off of heat, let cool, to 70def F. Add ice cold water to help cool. Transfer to primary and bring volume to 4 gallons. Pitch yeast. Initial Gravity: 1.074
Primary: Two weeks

After two weeks, transfer to secondary. Steep all fruit for one hour, mashing up as fine as possible. Add sugar to mixture. When cooled, add to secondary. Two weeks later, bottle with 3/4 cup priming sugar.

At bottling - murky golden color with a redish hue from the fruit. Nice strawberry flavor that's not over-powering with just a bit of tart from the rhubarb. Deceptively strong, as well!
