You remember that painting guy on PBS, Bob Ross? One of his catch phrases was "we don't make mistakes, just happy accidents." Well, we will see about that in a few weeks when we can drink the Summer Wheat Ale. Found the recipe online as a clone for Sam Adams Summer Ale, but I neglected to read the recipe when getting my steeping bag ready. It called for one half pound of Cara-pils dextrin, but I put the whole pound in. We will see what happens. The recipe I used is listed below.
3.3 lb Pale Liquid extract
3.3 lb Wheat Liquid extract
1.0 lb flaked wheat grain
1.0 lb Cara-pils dextrin
1.0 oz Tettnang hops (50 minutes)
1.0 oz Tettnang hops (10 minutes)
1.0 oz lemon zest (5 minutes)
2.0 grams Seeds of Paradise (5 minutes)
2.0 gallons water
Saflager S23 dry lager yeast
The grains were steeped at around 155 degrees F for 30 minutes. After boiling, wort was cooled and added to 3.0 gallons cold water in fermentation vessel. Yeast was added when vessel temperature hit 78 degrees F. Bubbles started to appear after about 3 hours, and foamy head seen about 14 hours after pitching. The yeast was used as a suggestion from Kirk.
