Recipe: Peach Wheat Ale | status: Finished
6/19/2008 - Woo-hoo! Haven't brewed in six weeks, running out of beer! Modded this based on what's on hand and at the local store. 1 can Muntons wheat, 4lbs wheat dme, 4oz pilsen light dme, 1oz Columbus for bitter, and 1oz Argentinian Cascade for aroma. The puree is going into the secondary later.
OG:1.064
Yeast: WLP001 from #9 (2nd Gen)
Exp Att: 75%
Exp FG: 1.016
6/29/2008 - oh boy, I might be in trouble. Racked to secondary on Thursday, added the peach puree, then went out of town for three days. The yeast absolutely loved the puree, and blew out the airlock completely. I'm concerned about contamination of some kind, though I didn't see any signs of it in the carboy just yet. Of course, I cleaned everything up and stuck a new, sanitized airlock on. Now, there's only praying left. And lots of it.
7/17/2008 - Bottled today with a couple of friends. FG:1.014, a whopping 78% apparent attenuation, and 6.5% ABV! Initial pre-conditioned tasting yielded a great wheat beer flavor, not much peach, though.
