One of my favorite shows on TV is AMC's The Walking Dead. Now that the second part of the third season is back on air, the one week wait between shows is torturous. To make my passion for the show worse, TWC currently has a great commercial featuring Daryl. Needless to say, this show and the anticipation of what happens next has been on my mind all the time! So to pay homage to the show, I am naming this heavy hitter beer, Prison Wheat.
Prison Wheat (yields 5 gallons)
- 3 lbs. Pilsner malt
- 2.5 lbs. Flaked wheat
- 1.13 lbs Flaked oats
- 0.2 lbs. Munich malt
- 0.25 lbs. Rice hulls
- 3.3 lbs. Wheat LME
- 1 oz. German Hallertau (4.3%) 60 minutes
- 0.2 oz. German Hallertau ~ 15 minutes
- 1 tsp. Irish moss
- California Ale Yeast
Sparge with 150F water into brew pot.
Bring to boil. Remove from heat and add LME. Stir well.
Return to boil. Add 1 ounce of German Hallertau hops. Begin 60 minute boil.
After 45 minutes, add remaining 0.2 ounces of German Hallertau hops and Irish moss.
After 15 minutes, remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
Transfer to fermenter. Add enough cool water to bring total volume to 5 1/8 gallons.
Once wort has reached 70F, pitch yeast.
Seal with lid and airlock. Let the yeast do its business then bottle or keg like usual.
O.G. - 1.080
F.G. - 1.012
Enjoy!
