May 2010

So far to date i have brewed American Light Ale (February 2010), Pilsner 100% malt (April 2010).

This months special brew is a Belgian Wheat Beer recipe provided by Charlie Papazian's book, Complete Guide to Homebrewing. It uses a wheat and barley malt extract (65% Wheat and 35% barley malt) made by Breiss Malts, in addition I added some coriander and orange beer to give it the classic belgian witbier character.

It fermented for a bit more than a week and has been bottled and sampled. The flavor is fairly mellow and rather tasty. It is similar to store bought Blue Moon but with the homebrewed twist. I will be making this one again, perhaps with more orange peel and crushed corriander instead of whole.
