Title: Wheatryed To Make Beer
Post by: Richard on May 10, 2012, 04:04:16 PM

Experimental spin on an american wheat -- hybrid american wheat/rye, lightly hopped with Palisade (yes, I really like that hop).

6lbs 2-Row.
3lbs Wheat Malt.
3lbs Rye Malt.

1oz Palisade 7% @ 60
0.5oz Palisade 7% @ 20

US-05.

Mash 4 gallons @ 152, Sparge 4 gallons @ 168.

OG/FG/IBU (estimates): 1.052/1.013/22

First impressions are that this strikes a very nice balance between the different grains; at room temperature there are no off-flavours, and the overall profile is like a massively muted orange-juice, with some spices in the background. No real acidity or astringency, just that's what comes to mind.

This sounds good, love to try it.

Curious, why US-05 instead of Wheat style yeast like WB-06?

Shooting for American wheat/rye, rather than Belgian wit.
