Hello All,
I have two 8.8 lb containers of Weyermann Hefeweisen LME that was given to me. They are getting old so I am sure the color is a bit darker than it should be. I am trying to come up with a beer to brew with it. I was thinking of an old ale. Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Brandon
dunkleweizen? just a thought
Yeah, dunkelweizen or with that much of it, a weizenbock, or weizen dopplebock, or even an eisweizenbock. It sounds good to me anyway.
wouldn’t you need a big freezer to make a eisweizenbock? or am I misunderstanding the Eis part and it isn’t a ice filtered beer?
Yes, but no problem… chest freezers will hold multiple corny kegs
Exactly, you can throw it in a freezer and then rack from there to a new keg. If you don’t have the equipment and don’t know anyone who does, then I’d go with the weizen dopplebock along the lines of Aventinus, I love that beer. ;D
You can do one of the other styles too, you have enough extract to do more than one batch.
