So I'm hoping to brew up an apricot wheat. Here is the grain and hop bill on it:
4# Wheat malt
3# 2-row
1# Vienna
4 oz. Crystal 40
8 oz. Rice hulls
1 oz. Saaz - 60 minute
.5 oz. Saaz - 30 minute
Wyeast 1010
75 min mash at 150
Now, here's the thing. I'm looking to give this a nice fruity apricot flavor, and I'm not sure what the best way to get that in is going to be. Should I add apricots to the mash? I did that with my pumpkin ale and it was pretty good, but this isn't the same beast in terms of what we're looking at. Just add some in the boil? Or put them in a secondary?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
