Maple Wheat

This brew is so delish! My hubby thinks it is the best brew yet that we've done.

Maple Wheat (yields 5 gallons):
3.5 lbs wheat malt
3 lbs 2-row
5 lbs wheat DME
8 oz. maple syrup*
1.5 oz. Willamette
0.5 oz Willamette
1 tsp. Irish moss
Bavarian wheat yeast (dry)

Mash wheat malt and 2-row at 150F for 90 minutes.  Sparge grains with 150F water into boil pot.

Bring to boil.  Remove from heat.  Add wheat DME, maple syrup, and 1.5 oz Willamette hops.  Add water if necessary to bring mixture up to 3 gallons.  Boil for 45 minuites.

Add 0.5 oz Willamette hop and Irish moss.  Boil for 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool for 15-20 minutes.

Strain the wort into fermenter and add cold water to obtain just over 5 gallons. 

When wort reaches a temperature of 70F or less, pitch yeast.

I keg directly and do not do a secondary ferment.

OG: 1.081
FG:  1.012

*Make sure the maple syrup is 100% pure

Enjoy!
