American Wheat
« on: May 27, 2015, 06:11:36 am »




I thinking about a American Wheat recipe for the summer months. What do you think about Amarillo flavor hops, cascade at flame out. Grains of paradise and lemon peel also at flameout.

Can't really go wrong with that but I would save the amarillo for later additions and use something like Magnum for bittering. My american wheat uses cascade, amarillo, and willamette for later additions along with orange zest and some coriander. 

I find myself drinking a lot of wheat beers in the summer. I like to brew really light bodied, light colored, clean wheats but find a lot of the commercial examples to have a bit more body and yeast character than I prefer.

EDIT - I see that you noted amarillo as 'flavor hops'. Disregard my comment about moving them...

Like most amarillo/cascade beers it will probably turn out really well.

Thanks. I should have been a little clearer. I didn't mention the 60 min addition is bravo and the Amarillo is the 10 min addition.
