Brew 8: We'll wheat again.
50 grams tettnang 20 mins boil
21.5 liters bottled water
3.1 KG wheat extract.
1290ml polish raspberry syrup ( 84g sugars per 100ml)
WB-06 yeast
1.071 og
Pitched at 21 deg
fermented at 20-23 deg for 3 weeks.

210 ml polish raspberry syrup into priming bucket topped up to 300 ml with chase spring water to aid mixing with beer.

1.010 fg = 8% abv

More fruity flavour in this than my first fruit wheat beer attempt :-)
sample jar was strong but refreshing.
 
Great title. :lol:

Great beer too! :drink:

carbonation tester, ahem. Seeing at my pet bottle firmed up nice.

Little head but then only had 2 hours in fridge so most co2 escaped on opening.

A little tart, Raspberry and red fruits. Close to kasteel rouge but with raspberries instead of cherry.:roll:

my girls both enjoyed it as did I. Will do this recipe next year for summer although at 8% it would make a lovely autumn beer as well.

The wheat beer base goes very well with the fruit, yet the 8% gives it the extra gravitas a wheat beer lacks.

A couple of these and the evening is history! :drunk:
