- Tasting Notes
- Excellent american hop flavor and aroma, with a full, smooth wheat body
1lb. Caravienne(now called Belgian Cara-20)
1lb. 2-row
1lb. White Wheat
5lb. Briess Wheat DME
.5oz Amarillo whole (9.8 AA, 60 min.)
.5oz Amarillo whole (9.8 AA, 15 min.)
.5oz Amarillo whole (9.8 AA, 5 min.)
.5oz Amarillo whole (9.8 AA, flameout)
1oz Amarillo whole (9.8 AA, dry-hop)
1oz Simcoe pellet (12.1 AA, dry-hop)
Safale-05 fermented as noted
I mashed the grains in a pot with a gallon of water for an hour at 152 and then dumped through a strainer into the brewpot, followed by another gallon of water as a sparge. I called this an extract recipe because it can be done with household items. A steeper could just steep the caravienne and add a half pound more of DME to the boil.
This was my first experience with the "simarillo" dry-hop combination, and it is a winner. Big grapefruit aroma with the same flavor and a finish of tangerine. This is a very drinkable summer session beer for the lupomaniacs among us, but it will be a staple at my house year-round. I made this with Spartan Spring water and primaried as cool as I can, around 62-64 degrees. When it went to secondary it was pretty much ambient in my house.
I've already drank 1/3 of my first batch with less than two weeks in the bottle. The big hop blast is already fading.
Enjoy!! If anyone has access to Gumballhead I'm up for an exchange to compare. I realize that the real thing uses only amarillo, that is why I'm interested in tasting it.
Grain bill for the AG crowd. All hop additions are the same since this was a full boil originally.
