Background
I'm looking to brew a big beer. There are a couple of reasons for it.
1. A celebratory brew (250th)
2. A commemorative brew to be bought out for special occasions
3. Break in the new brew system (first upgrade to the AG brew system in close to 6 years).
I then went and did some research to get some idea of the landscape to do with WheatWine.
There isn't a lot of info about.
There is an online article from 2001 by BYO Mag here
I then wrote to Drew Beechum who writes in Beer Advocate Magazine (as well as others), and he has done an article on WheatWine in the latest issue of the BA Mag.
This got me thinking about what I wanted from my WheatWine.
I've decided that I want mine to more English in style (ie hopping), and should be a nice deep golden/orange colour.
I've also found the glass that I think would accentuate it.
I've come up the first hack at the recipe.
I'm pretty set on the grain bill.
As for the coriander and orange peel, they will probably just get lost in the hops. So may drop those, or go crazy with them instead.
Any thoughts ??
