Mikes15 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Just bottled my Red neck rasberry wheat beer, Like most brews, cant get the coopers special beer kits in NZ (nor it seams pink boots hops at all) for a reasonable price so this is my cheap arse red neck version, 1x 250g crystal malt 1x 1.7kg Mangrove Jacks Bavarian Wheat 1x 1kg Mangrove Jacks Wheat Unhopped Dry Spray Malt 5x Strawberry & rasberry tea bags 5g Mosaic 5g Simco 5g Citra 5g Palisade 5g Loral 1x S-O5 0.5x kit yeast The glass left over from bottling is pretty dam good, if not possibly the best wheat beer Ive made.

Cosmo2450 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Did you dry hop everything? Looks really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergy1987 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 How much raspberry comes through? Could throw frozen raspberries straight in next time for a real kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Pink boots is a limited release blend available to commercial breweries, you probably won't get it anywhere. However, details of some of the hops in it are out there which it looks like you did find. Obviously pure guesswork as to the percentages of them in the blend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could throw frozen raspberries straight in next time for a real kick its def there but its certainly faint, just like the colour, I can see the red / purple taint but dont think you'd realize if you didn't know, see how it conditions. Not sure you'd want to much more sour fruit, it would clash with the sweet / bananary flavours, seems its definably a well thought out brew in terms of flavour balance.

Mikes15 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Jurys out on this one, Its got a dry taste / after taste, a bit like black tea, there's raspberry in there but not much else in stand out flavour. Hasn't gassed well, not smooth like my other Wheat beers, closer to (but not) fizzy, find I have to degas it in the glass or let it sit in a jug for 15-20mins. Might be an imperfect brew or just the way pouring tea & tea bags into beer effects it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
