My base beer for the raspberry tasted so good by itself I thought I'd redo it with a few tweaks and more hops without the fruit -
2kg Wheat malt mashed at 50 ( 30 min), 60 ( 30min ),65 (45 mins ), 76 then run off.
1.5kg Pale spray malt
Fuggles 45g 90min
gypsum
2tsp sea salt
hallertau 10g 10mins, 10g steep
M27 belgian yeast
12l - OG 1075 - 1008 at casking
Just put this on into the cask at ten days, it's not bad at all but it's a little 'wine-ish' I'm starting to think maybe I should have gone straight to 65 but I'm hoping maturation will temper this to the dry continental style wheat beer I hope achieve. Either way I probably shouldn't drink more than a pint of it.
