Agave Nectar Wheat Beer?

(1/2) > >>

Aloha fellow Beer Enthusiasts!!!  I just brewed 5 gallons of an Agave Nectar Wheat Beer.  Was just wondering if anyone has used Agave in a brew before?  My wife had it in the kitchen so I thought I'd play mad scientist with it and add it to a Wheat Beer I was going to brew.  Used White Labs Platinum Series Bavarian Weizen Yeast (WLP-351) for this particular brew and 24.5 ounces of an Organic Agave Nectar.  Can't wait to see how this one ferments!!! I look forward to your replies!  Aloha from Hawaii!!!

It's going to depend on how much you used. If you just used one (12 oz?) container in 5 gallons it probably won't be very noticeable. I used some in a beer once but I definitely didn't add enough because it provided no flavor at all.

I am extremely FOR the use of cactus in foods/beer.  I've had some terrific cactus salsas before.  However, there are few examples of cactus beer that I can think of off hand.  I've tried one commercial example that I know of, and it sucked.  If your recipe comes out good, do let us in on the details and the brand of agave nectar that you used!

I have used agave before...can't remember now what the base was, may have been a pale ale...I know I used almost 24oz. in a 5 gallon batch. It added no recognizable flavor...but the ABV was pretty high due to the extra fermentable sugars

Cheers,

I know Breckenridge Brewery has an Agave Wheat beer. It taste more sweet to me. I have not used it but am thinking of trying something with Agave this summer. Let us know how it tastes.
