Hi Lee , id add some dextrose maybe 300g just to thin it out a bit , as maybe be a bit heavy as is . you could try a jar of honey 454g instead of dex ? saaz or Hallertau , maybe Tettnang as all german suitable for style , wheats dont need to be hoppy , instead of goldings , so 20g - 30g in dry hopped is plenty

[LeeH]

Thanks for your reply.

I'll add 300g of dex to it. It's only 15L kit so will all that malt and sugar be too much fermentables?

I only have Golding hops unfortunately so will they be ok in a small 20g dose?

[tteknulp]

hi Lee,
no 300g dex is fine , you could just do kit as listed above and see how it turns out , its preference really . over 3.0kg of malt is only 80% fermentable, where dex is 100% , its about finding a balance that suits you. yeah go with Goldings x 20g why not, and brew at close to 20c room temp.

Well it's on its way with a massive spew. Not seen one as big before.

Looks nice Lee. Tad expensive though for a 15 litre brew? yeah...I'm tight!

[LeeH]

Yeah it was a little but thought if test myself to a free expensive brews for xmas.

The Cherry if even more expensive.

[LeeH]

This is how high the spew went.

Glad it was only half full.

hi, i did the same kit, but i add only 50% candy sugar and 50% Malt extract.....its brewing since 5 days, but the spew wasnt so high like yours....is this normal for this kind o beer kit?? how it worked with yours??? in the end, with changes that you made, is more similar with the germans wheat beer, or with the belgium witbiers~??



cheers

[LeeH]

Spew that much isn't normal for me. I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know how it works out.

It's dropped crystal clear though, which is odd.

after three weeks in the bottle, my carbonation test bottle.

[LeeH]

And the taste?

[Pinto]

Not a bad base, Tarweiber I used golden syrup and added bitter curaco orange peel and cracked/toasted corriander seed - came out quite bitter initially, but mellowed with age to a lovely citrus and herbal finish.

[rui]

Mine is to young to talk about the taste.....tastes well but a litle bit to acid....that i thnik will desapear with age!!!

[rui]
