Hey all,

I used to live in Calgary but am now living in Montreal. One of my most favorite summer brews was the Wild Rose Wraspberry. I haven't been able to find anything locally that has satisfied the craving and since warmer weather is coming I figured I would try my hand at brewing something similar. Does anyone have a suggestion for recipe/fruit treatment? I have a reasonable handle on all-grain with reasonable access to malt.

Thanks a bunch,

Jeremy

Hey Jeremy.

If I were trying to make something like the Wraspberry I'd go for straight 2-row with a bit of wheat in the mash and a 152F-ish sac rest.

Maybe 20-30 IBU's to start. Ferment with a clean cali yeast (1056, US-05, etc), split into several carbouys and experiment with ratios of raspberry syrop in each secondary. Find one you like and tweak the hop bitterness in subsequent brews to basically create a balance and enhance the perception of berry.

Good luck!

Hans thanks for the reply.

What sort of percentage of wheat do you think I should use?

Cheers,

Jeremy

Oh somewhere around 5 - 10% should do it.
