Summer Lovin' Un-Wheat
Brewed: 6/15/2013 Kegged: 6/27/2013
I was at the home-brew shop meaning to buy ingredients for Summer Lovin' American Wheat.
By mistake, I grabbed German Pilsner malt instead of the wheat malt I meant to use. The grains were crushed and mixed together by the time I figured this out, so I couldn't very well pull out the wrong malt and replace it with the right one.I decided to go with it.
I reduced the Coriander and used orange juice concentrate instead of orange zest. The concentrate was something I'd been meaning to try for awhile. I got the chance because of a careless error.
The beer was very similar to Summer Lovin' American Wheat. I is was fairly crisp, dry, and refreshing with nice complimentary orange flavors. It is a very nice summer beer. The SheppyBrew Beer Model really liked it. I did too.
