The Honey Wheat Ale is a somewhat complex beer, with the wheat, barley, and honey making for an interesting flavor combination. Since it has a lot a fermentable ingrediants, it is a pretty potent beer as well. The touch of black patent malt takes a little edge off. And I love them Northen Brewer hops!
3.3 lbs John Bull hopped light MES
3 lbs Alexanders 60/40 wheat/barley MES
2 lbs Grade A clover honey
1/4 cup Black patent malt
1/2 lb Crystal malt -- 10 degrees Lovibond
2 oz Northern Brewer hops (boiling hops) -- 8.8 percent alpha acid
1 oz Hallertauer hops (flavor hops) -- 3.2 percent alpha acid
1 pkg Wyeast Bavarian wheat yeast
Flavoring hops should be added for the last five minutes of the boil. For a lighter beer (as is, it is medium-bodied), you might try taking the flavoring grains out a little early (i.e. a little before the infusion reaches full boil). I tried this the last time I brewed it, and it was an interesting variation. |
