American Wheat Beer Recipe - Sorta-Wheat Strawberry Ale

{"RecipeId":305,"RecipeTypeId":20,"OriginalRecipeId":null,"UnitType":"s","IbuFormula":"b","CreatedBy":100159,"Name":"Sorta-Wheat Strawberry Ale","Description":"I use this as a base recipe for various wheat ales that I brew with fruit. If you notice that I did a 1/2 boil is because I was brewing 30 gallons and only had 15 gallon kettle. After primary fermentation, I split each into 10 gallon batches, then add different fruit to each batch. (blueberry, strawberry, and a mix of pineapple/bananas/blueberry/blackberries/raspberries) Figure 10 pounds of fruit per 10 gallon batch.\r\n\r\nI purposely made this recipe not very complex, nor is it a \"traditional\" wheat ale. I used a 25kg Jerry can of Muntons Plain Light LME. and 12 pounds of Munton\u0027s Light Wheat DME. Yeast was Yyeast Americn Wheat (not sure of the actual product number, sorry! I\"ll try to update when I look at my notes)\r\n\r\nFlavor was slightly spicy with VERY little clove accent.\r\nThe Blueberry was fantastic, it tasted like, blueberries. Color...BLUE! Pretty Cool! This is a keeper! While not a light beer, it\u0027s very refreshing.\r\n\r\nThe Strawberry was extremely popular! It hit its flavor peak at about 5-6 months (thats when I ran out). I\u0027d guess it was pretty drinkable in 4 weeks in the bottle, but just got better and better with age. Will DEFINITELY brew this again.\r\n\r\nThe Mixed Fruit: Surprisiingly there was more than 10 pounds of fruit in this batch, but the flavor was LIGHT! Almost no flavor of the bananas, a little color from the berries, and surprisingly not much flavor from the Pineapples. Just a hint of pineapple flavor, but almost undetectable. Honestly this batch wasn\u0027t very fruity, but it still was a good beer.\r\n\r\nThis recipe is NOT in the Wheat profile. \r\nTry using any fruit, but in this recipe I\u0027ll be using strawberry as an example.\r\n\r\nI\u0027LL BREAK ALL OF THIS DOWN TO A FIVE GALLON BATCH RECIPE","ImageUrlRoot":null,"StyleId":"1D","StyleName":"American Wheat Beer","BatchSize":5,"BoilSize":5.5,"BoilTime":60,"Efficiency":0.75,"DateCreated":"\/Date(1359613848457)\/","BrewSessionCount":0,"MostRecentBrewSession":null,"Og":1.07655,"Fg":1.018372,"Srm":9,"Ibu":21.283709832000003,"BgGu":0.27803670583932111,"Abv":7.504962,"Calories":262,"AverageRating":0,"TastingNoteCount":0,"Fermentables":[{"Per":"14","Amt":"2","Ppg":"33","L":"2","Use":"Steep","Id":"1174","IngId":"11","Name":"Carapils - DE","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Per":"57","Amt":"7.9375","Ppg":"36","L":"8","Use":"Extract","Id":"1175","IngId":"110","Name":"Light Liquid Malt Extract","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"},{"Per":"14","Amt":"2","Ppg":"0","L":"0","Use":"Extract","Id":"1176","IngId":"87","Name":"Corn Sugar (Dextrose) - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"3"},{"Per":"14","Amt":"2","Ppg":"32","L":"0","Use":"Extract","Id":"1177","IngId":"123","Name":"Wheat Malt","CustomName":"","Rank":"4"}],"Hops":[{"Amt":"1","Type":"Pellet","Use":"Boil","Min":"60","Day":"0","AA":"4.5","Ibu":"14.3","Id":"926","IngId":"15","Name":"Hallertau ","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Amt":"0.5","Type":"Pellet","Use":"Boil","Min":"30","Day":"0","AA":"4.5","Ibu":"5.5","Id":"927","IngId":"15","Name":"Hallertau ","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"},{"Amt":"0.5","Type":"Pellet","Use":"Boil","Min":"5","Day":"0","AA":"4.5","Ibu":"1.4","Id":"928","IngId":"15","Name":"Hallertau ","CustomName":"","Rank":"3"}],"Yeasts":[{"Atten":"0.76","Id":"296","IngId":"196","Name":"Wyeast American Wheat 1010","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"}],"Others":[{"Amt":"5","Unit":"tbsp","Use":"Boil","Id":"226","IngId":"14","Name":"Irish Moss","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Amt":"8","Unit":"floz","Use":"Bottle","Id":"227","IngId":"45","Name":"Vanilla Extract","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"},{"Amt":"16","Unit":"floz","Use":"Bottle","Id":"228","IngId":"34","Name":"Dextrose","CustomName":"","Rank":"3"},{"Amt":"1","Unit":"each","Use":"Secondary","Id":"229","IngId":"68","Name":"5 Pounds of frozen Strawberries","CustomName":"","Rank":"4"}],"MashSteps":[],"Steps":[{"Id":"365","Rank":"1","Text":"Add grains to 5 gallons of cool water, slowly bring temp to 150F and hold for 30 min."},{"Id":"366","Rank":"2","Text":"Remove Grain Bag.
