Hey all,
So I am thinking of putting together a Wheat beer for my wife. We were in Atlanta airport recently and she found a beer at Sweetwater brewing company that was a blueberry wheat (at least I think it was a wheat... dont fully remember...). Ultimately I want to get something like it, not a clone, just an interesting wheat beer, with blueberry... oh and orange, because my wife wanted it. This is what I'm thinking:
5.25 gallon BIAB
5# White Wheat
4# 2-row (us)
Mash
130F - 20 min
150F - 45 min
168F - 10 min
1oz of either cascade or citra at 60min (not sure which, I like both...)
0.75oz sweet orange peel 5min
Then onto the yeast. This is where I'm having the most debate. I could either pick up some wheat yeast, or go with some Denny's Fav 50 that I have washed in the fridge. I'm leaning towards the latter because I'm cheap, but I was wondering if there is any major reason not to use the yeast I have instead of a wheat yeast.
Finally Frozen, then thawed, crushed blueberries in secondary (3lbs).
Any comments or suggestions are fully welcome and apprecaited!
