Alcatraz Wheat Beer
- 3 lbs dried wheat extract
- 2 lbs wheat malt
- 1 lb barley malt
- 1 lb dried malt extract
- 2 12 ounces mt. hood hops
- wyeast wheat beer yeast
- Make a yeast starter two days beforehand.
- Mash the three pounds of malt a la Miller.
- Boil for one hour, adding 1-1/2 ounces hops at the start, 1/2 ounce at 30 minutes, and 1/2 ounce at 5 minutes.
- Cool and pitch yeast.
- Ferment.
- Bottle.
- I primed half the batch (5 gal) with 1/3 cup corn sugar and the other half with 1/2 cup clover honey.
- After two weeks, the beer was great.
- The beer primed with honey, however, was way too carbonated.
- All you can taste is bubbles.
