Hey everyone,
Hope this final working day of the week is treating you all fairly well...
I am just about to (tomorrow) keg an APA i have fermenting in the fridge atm, so will have some free space to start another over the weekend.
I have a cube of 50/50 wheat/pils FWH'ed to 18 IBU that I am thinking about fermenting
I am just wondering if people have any suggestions on what to do with it?
I was thinking of one of three options, but am open for more suggestions
1. Since I'm not the biggest fan of Belgium/German wheats (I don't mind a schooey every so often, not enough to warrant a keg though - plus the ester flavour seems to mellow quite quickly if not drank early) and have had the mrs and a few mates request I make a fruit beer at some stage, I was thinking of just fermenting with a pack of wb-06 i have in the fridge, then racking onto a kilo or two of frozen strawberries/raspberries to make a bit of a fruit wheat beer for a bit of a change.
2. Do a mini boil of some NS (or similar) for a bit of flavour and aroma and fermenting with an american ale yeast for an american style wheat - similar to a hoppy whale ale
3. ferment as is with an american yeast as is for a summer quaffer
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with it?
The best answer wins themselves a friendly hand shake
