2.5 lb. British Pale malt
3.5 lb. German Pils malt

.6 oz Mount Hood @ 60 mins, 5.1 AA pellets.
.5 oz Saaz @ 60 mins, 3.6 AA pellets.
.13 oz Saaz @ 2 mins, 3.5 AA whole.
Other specifics:
Wyeast 1098 British ale yeast
6 grams calcium chloride in mash
Procedure:
Mash at 149 for 120 minutes. Mash out at 165 for 20 minutes. Carbonate
this beer well, it needs to be a spritzy beer.
I call this Truly American because it uses a melting pot of
ingredients. This is the recipe that I used when I won BOS at Schleswig
in 2002. It was at it's peak and very nicely balanced for such a light
beer. I also made it this last Summer (2003) using Wyeast 1056 for a
back yard party, in which I made three other beers for the event. This
wheat had the emptiest keg at the end of the day. It stands up well in
the Bud crowd.
Enjoy! |
