This was my first attempt at a Shock Top/Blue Moon clone.
Ingredients:
DME - Bavarian Wheat 6lb 60 min
1lb White Wheat steep 20 min
1lb flaked oats steep 20 min
1oz Hallertauer Mittelfruh 60 min
1.5 tsp lightly crushed coriander 15 min
1 oz bitter orange peal 15 min
Safale US 05 dry yeast
This recipe gave me an OG of 1.059 and an FG of 1.012 making the beer a nice 6.169% ABV. This beer was incredibly smooth and tasty with no hint of alcohol. I kegged it with 13PSI of CO2 for 3 days, then dropped the PSI to 10 and served.

Comments
This was a really good beer and the first I used in a corny keg. I carbonated at 15PSI for 3 days in the fridge. After that it was done. The head retention was pretty good, the smell and color were really good too. For a 6% beer, I couldn't taste the alcohol at all.
