Strawbeery Honey Ale
My wife requested a strawberry flavored brew so this was my first attempt. We have both grown fond of honey brews, so this was a natural base from which to experiment.
| Brewer: | Trip Rice | Email: | - | |||||
| Beer: | Strawbeery Honey Ale | Style: | India Pale Ale | |||||
| Type: | Extract | Size: | 5 gallons | |||||
| Color: |
|
Bitterness: | 11 IBU | |||||
| OG: | 1.060 | FG: | 1.004 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 7.2% v/v (5.7% w/w) | |||||||
| Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.150 | 2 gallons | |||||
| 3 lb. Light malt extract 4 lb. 8 oz. Honey |
||||||||
| Added Irish Moss for the last 15 minutes. | ||||||||
| Hops: | 1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 60 min.) 0.5 oz. Saaz (3.75% AA, 60 min.) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | California Ale yeast WLP001 and 1 6g package of rehydrated dry Munton's. | |||||||
| Log: | Steeped 2 lbs of partially pureed frozen strawberrys in 8 cups of water in a separate pot for about 1 hr. Do not boil, it will set the Pectin and cloud your brew. I added this to the cooled wort before I pitched the yeast. Racked to secondary fermentor at 4 days after the very energetic fermentation had slowed. I noticed a slight pink tinge to the beautiful golden color of the beer. It smells delicious. |
|||||||
| Carbonation: | 8 prime tabs per bottle. | |||||||
| Tasting: | Hardly any strawberry flavor at all. Still a very nice light colored ale, but not what I was after. Next time I will use strawberry syrup in the secondary rather than fresh berries in the primary. | |||||||
