Hi All,
I'm working on a new beer recipe and was interested to see what you all think. It's currently fermenting so it's going to be more of an explanation so we'll see how this goes.
I started out with 7.5 lbs of American Wheat (american because i started making it on the 4th)
3 lbs of Pilsner
3/4 lb of crystal 60
1 Lb honey
I made sure i ended up with a finished wort size of about 7.5 gallons before boil. I planned to end at about 6 gallons so my gravity would land at 1.055.
I used .75 oz of Hallertau for a 90 minute boil, and for the last 10 minutes added the remaining .25 oz when i dropped in the wort chiller.
At flameout I used the lb of honey that i had purchased and mixed it in. Rapidly chilled it to 68 then pitched my yeast in which i have chose WLP 380.
It's now been 1 week and i went to take the gravity, it landed at 1.015 so i had decided that i needed to impart a bit more fruity aroma so i decided to dry hop with 1oz of Citra hops and also added 3 lbs of Mango.
I'm going to give it another week then give it a try and see if it's ready to bottle. Once the gravity is steady i plan to bottle with 4.5oz of priming sugar. I'm attempting to account for the extra volume here.
I was hoping you all may be able to give some feedback on anything you think i should add additionally.
I'll keep you all posted. I did try just the honey mango hef earlier today and i have to say, even flat it was a pretty solid beer. Noting that it had not yet finished fermenting as there's still a light krausen on top.
Cheers
