    OK ... a suggestion for your basement floor ....
    do a Peetermann ... hope I got the spelling right ...
    Its like a dark wit ...
    pilsner malt ... wheat malt ... a bit of munich and chocolate wheat ... double the hops of a normal wit ... and add a touch of cloves and cinnamon with the coriander



    ceannt said:

    Oh.... should be a good bit stronger than a normal wit too ... O.G. up in the 50s



    So goes the build thread for this. Ima try to brew Sunday.

    Here is the recipe?

    I Just slapped some hops in there so I could save the recipe. What do you'ins think about the grain bill? I have centennial and nugget hops in the freezer already. I don't think either of those would fit very well....

    up to you how much, but i always say more munich is better. for my particular tastes, i'd go for 1-2# in a ten gallon batch, otherwise it might get buried under the roasted malts.

    that's probably too much for the 'style', whatever that is, but munich is my favorite malt. so it'd still be tasty in my book.

    We're talking about a style that is older than Kenny. I'm not too worried about it. But I'll prolly trim it back anyway.

    Try this on for size.

    What do you think about the hops? Something else? Would WGV be good in here? Maybe drop the Hallertau at 30 and drop an ounce of WGV at 20? I don't know...

    The Hallertau is perfect ... maybe just move it to 10 or 5 minutes and bump up the bittering addition ...

    i routinely use hops that i try and dislike for my bittering. not a good plan for a cream ale, or clean lager, but with something that has a decent amount of flavor and/or late hop additions, it's a great way to use up some hops you don't want.

    Mmk. Ingredients bought. I adjusted the recipe to match the ingredients I and quantities I bought. Also match the AA of the hops I have and bought. I doubt I'll get to brew it tomorrow, maybe next Sunday. I think my effecency should be a bit higher than 70%, so I'll probably be up in the mid 50's OG.

    Take another look at the recipe. I adjusted it for what I actually used. Midnight wheat. Oups. It's really dark. Really really dark. I'll postie a picture when my phone gets charged back up. OG came out to 1.056. I added 10 oz of regular DME to get preboil up a bit. I also have a few pics of the crush for reviewing also. Hydro sample tasted good. But I've never been able to tell much by that.

    Couple notes on this.. I pitched yeast yesterday evening. It was chugging along at the 6 hour mark at about 70*. At the 16 hour mark it was up to 73*. Now at the 34ish hour its up to 77. Ima cool it down a degree or two over night then set the ferm controller on 74 or 75.
    Guess I should have set it up from the start....

    For sure.

    It's back down to 72* this morning. Who knew we would get a low of 62* in July? I'm going to check the gravity and then set up the ferm chamber. If nothing else to keep it from swinging back and forth so much. Also, airlock activity has ceased. Ima roust it daily to hopefully keep it from stalling out.

    Kegged. Amazingly clear for as dark as it is. I don't get much in the aroma department. The taste (warm and flat) is interesting. I sampled the bucket that finished at 1.008. It had a residual sweetness that scares me because the other bucket finished at 1.011ish. The first think I noticed was it was definitely a wheat beer. Got that right up front. There is a silky smoothness that finishes thick on the tongue. Overall flavor is good, but I'm expecting carbonation to take the edge off of the sweetness.
