gotta strawberry blonde i tossed together monday that used Breiss tapioca as a base.
the recipe is as follows
7# of breiss tapocia malt
5# of home toasted millet
1.5# Clover honey
1ox Czech saaz (.5 @ 80min, .25 @ 40min and 20min)
1/2 tsp irish moss @ 20min
2# fresh ripe strawberries
coopers ale yeast packet
started heating ~4gal of water. and steeped toasted cracked millet for ~ 1hour
pulled the grain bag and turned the heat up
added the tapioca and honey
got the boil started and hopped according to the above
during the cool down brought some water to a boil to blanche the strawberries.
quartered them, blanched them for about 2 min, strained them, then tossed them into the primary (8gal bucket, strawberries may be hard to pull from a carboy), and proceeded to roughly crush them with a sterile potato masher.
added the cooled wort, pitched the yeast and stashed the whole mess in the closet..
that was monday.. currently its fermenting nicely and ill check it in a week when i rack it.
the my hydro told me potential alcohol is around 10% (yes it talks to me
)
