I really want to brew a recipe similar to Allagash White, since I can’t get it where I live. Has anyone given this a shot? Would you want to share your recipe?

Being in Colorado, I don’t have the commercial example to taste and try to pick apart. Any tips or recipes are appreciated!

Thanks,  
Duncan

Hey DUncan,

Funny you ask, I am setting up to brew this late this week for the third time and I think it’s pretty close. The only change I made this time around is to use Nelson hops instead of the original Saaz. The original two batches I brewed were with Saaz and I think the beer was really pretty close to the Allagash White. I wanted to experiment with the Nelson this time around so that was the switch.

Sparge: Fly sparge with 5.78 gal water at 168.0 F  
Notes:

Just note my batch size is not typical so you might need to scale up or down, I also get 80% efficiency so adjust for that as well and I recommend a starter for the yeast for proper pitch rate. I also pitch cold, like 60 and simply allow fermentation to rise by itself throughout.

The acidulated malt is for mash pH adjustment, your water may vary so plan accordingly.

I’t a mighty tasty brew. Let me know your thoughts if you brew this!

Gary

I think there is a recipe in Brewing with Wheat but can’t find my book right now.

There is and that is where I began generating this recipe from originally as well as cross referencing with their website and a couple traded emails from their brewer about 2 years ago I think. From there I tweaked a bit doing a few side by sides.

Awesome, thanks guys! I hadn’t thought of looking in the Wheat book…

I think I am going to try your recipe, Duboman, next weekend. Once it’s ready to taste, I’ll let you know how it comes out! Hopefully I can scrounge up a bottle of Allagash White to do a side by side.
