| For all of us that are home brewers, the search for the right recipe for our tastes is a never ending quest. This is where I will post a recipe for one of my beers that have received good comments. All of my recipes are for malt extracts because I have yet to set up for all grain. Your local home brew shop can help with the conversions or Patrick Higgins' recipe book has a conversion equation that works pretty good. Bear with me if I don't update this on the first of every month. I like to think I have a life. Raspberry Wheat 5 Gallons Artesian Water 7lbs Wheat Malt Extract 1 lb Crystal Malt 10 L .5 lb White Wheat (Head Retainer) 1 oz Cascade Hops (5.6% Alpha Acidity) .5 oz Tettnang Leaf Hops (4.2% Alpha Acidity) .5 oz Great Hersbruker Hallertauer Hops (Finishing)(3.1% Alpha Acidity) 1 Wirlfloc Tablet #1056 American Ale Yeast (Liquid) 3/4 cup corn sugar 1 4 oz bottle of raspberry extract Steep grains and remove at 178 degrees 60 minute boil Add WME, Cascade and Tettnang hops at beginning of boil 45 min into boil add Great Hersbruker Hallertauer hops 55 minutes into Boil add Wirlfloc Post Fermentation: Ferment in primary for 8 days.
