I've never brewed one before, but I do remember drinking and enjoying Ithaca Beer Company's Apricot Wheat beer when I lived in NY. I'm planning on brewing one over the weekend and haven't settled on a recipe yet, but this is something I've been playing around with in Beersmith and am considering. My goal is to make this a real easy drinking apricot wheat that will entice even the BMC crowd. Just looking for feedback and/or suggestions for your go-to wheat beer recipe.
BIAB 5.5 - 6 gallons into the fermenter.
60% White Wheat Malt
36% 2-row
4% Carapils
Centennial and Hallertauer Mittelfrueh (two hops I already have from previous brews).
Because of summer temperatures and my keezer/fermentation chamber not yet ready I'm going to ferment with Lutra Kveik.
Apex Apricot flavoring - Apricot Flavor for Beer Wine and Spirits - TTB Approved - Apex Flavors I've used other Apex flavorings and they have always been excellent for me.
Shooting for:
ABV ~5.5%
SRM ~4
IBUs ~20-25-ish
