Raspberry Wheat


Wow....it's been a long time since I've last posted. I've had a horrible couple of weeks personally, and on top of that work has been really busy. I have been struggling with time to do anything so with the few free hours I found, I brewed. I only had a few hours, so I decided to take the easy/road and do an all Extract brew. I'm ok with it though, because the extract brews I've done have turned out great, so why not. I needed to reduce the insanity in my life, and anything helped. Here is the recipe. I'll bottle it this weekend, so i'll update with the outcome.


Fermentables:

6.6 lbs. Wheat Malt Extract


Hops:

1 oz. Cluster (6.5% - 60 min)


Yeast:

Wyeast 1056 - American Ale


Fruit Extract:

4 oz. Raspberry extract


OG - 1.044


Boiled for 60 minutes, chilled to 80 f and pitched yeast. Racked to secondary on 5/8. I think I might have racked it a little too soon (stupid I know) because there was still some action in the primary, but very sporadic, so I decided to do it anyway. It's slowed significantly, so I will bottle this weekend with 5 oz of priming sugar.


Cheers,

Jason
