Brew #18: Cherry Wheat
Ingredients
1 Can Coopers Wheat LME
2 lbs. Muntons Wheat DME
.25 lbs. Whole Wheat Flour
1.5 oz Hallertauer hop pellets (boil)
1.5 oz Cascade hop pellets (dry hop)
2 tsp. Coriander seeds
pinch Irish Moss
1 vial Hefeweizen Ale Yeast (WLP300)
4 oz bottle Cherry Beer Flavoring
Boiled 2 gallons of water and added malt extract. Brought back to boil and added boil hops. Boiled for 45 minutes. Added wort chiller and Irish Moss for last 20 minutes of boil. Added wheat flour and then added Coriander. I’ll add the cherry flavor when the primary fermentation is complete and I’ve racked to secondary.
Update: Bottled to 1 mini keg, 11 16 oz flip tops, and 10 22 oz bottles.
How did the cherry flavor do? I have recently purchased some for a “holiday treat” brew, and I’m worried since it’s not sterile (is it?). Thanks in advance. I’m going to make this one in January or February for consumption in summer ‘09.
