The brew date was 03/05/11 and it was kegged on 03/27/11. It was first tapped in early May. The ingredients are as follows:
- 6lbs - Domestic 2-row
- 5lbs - White Wheat Malt
- 1lb - Belgium Candi Sugar
- 8oz - Caravienne
- 8oz - Torrified Wheat
- 1oz - Bitter Orange Peel
- 0.5oz - Coriander Seed
- 0.5oz - Seeds of Paradise
- 1oz - Saaz hops
- Wyeast 3942 - Belgian Wheat Yeast
At 7.2%, this is a fairly big beer but deceptively so. The spices and the fruity esters from the Belgian yeast really hide the alcohol.
I also ordered what should be a years supplies of grains for brewing. Here is the list:
- 50lbs - Rahr 2-row (Domestic malt)
- 55lbs - Muntons Maris Otter (British malt)
- 55lbs - Weyermann Pilsner (German lager/pilsner malt)
- 5lbs - Crystal 20L
- 5lbs - Crystal 60L
- 5lbs - Special B 120L
- 5lbs - Aromatic
- 5lbs - Roasted Barley
- 5lbs - Carafa III
- 5lbs - Pale Chocolate
- 10lbs - Munich II
- 5lbs - White Wheat malt
I still need to do a bulk hops purchase and I will buy yeast as needed. Tomorrow I'll do another update with my third beer on tap and go over what I have in the pipeline.
