Notes

Fantastic raspberry wheat ale with a hint of honey. I tweaked this recipe from another online to match my tastes. Your final gravity may be as low as 1.022, which will give you an incredibly strong beer, but easy to drink.

My recipe was for a 5.5 gallon batch.

Steps (Using the Conical):

  1. Add the wort directly from the boil to the fermenter and turn on the chiller to 68 degrees.
  2. Wait 1 hr and drain trub from the fermenter. (A few quick twists of the valve handle should do it.)
    REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE AIRLOCK/BLOWOFF BEFORE DOING THIS
  3. Measure initial Specific Gravity.
  4. Pitch yeast.
  5. (Primary) Ferment 7 days at 68 degrees.
  6. Drain trub.
  7. Add raspberries.
  8. (Secondary/Condition) Ferment 13 days at 68 degrees.
  9. Cold crash for 24 hours at 38 degrees then warm back to 68 degrees.
  10. Drain trub.
  11. Measure final Specific Gravity and calculate your %ABV.
  12. Add priming sugar (4.2 oz Turbinado for 2.3 volumes of CO2) to top of Fermenter and gently stir.
    DO NOT AERATE/SPLASH THE BREW
  13. (Optional) Wait 1/2 hour to allow brew to settle.
  14. Bottle and condition at room temperature (72 - 78 degrees) for 2 weeks.
  15. Chill bottle for 48 hours.
  16. Enjoy!
