Dangarrden Lager Kit mod
Heres how I turned a Lager kit into a Wheat beer!
Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item
1000.00 gm Wheat Dry Spray Malt
1800.00 gm Lager Kit
15.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.20 %] (15 min)
15.00 gm Saaz [2.80 %] (5 min)
3.00 tsp Coriander Seed (Boil 15.0 min)
15.00 gm Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 15.0 min)
200.00 gm Sugar, Table (Sucrose) (2.0 EBC)
2 Pkgs Munich (Danstar)
Method:
------------
Remove lid and label off the can of the larger, and soak the can in hot water to loosen the contents!
Use a stock pot to dissolve the one kg of DWSM and the Sugar in three litres of boiling water.
Keep the pot on the boil, add coriander seed, orange peel and Striyan Golding hops and Boil for 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes I add the Saaz hops into pot and boil for another 5 minuites.
Then turn off the hob and remove all hops, seeds and peel (for simplicity you can use muslin bags or strain through a sieve) from pot.
Put some cold water into sterilised fermentation bucket and add the liquid from the stock pot.
Then carefully open the gordies larger kit and add to bucket and stir in using sterilised paddle/spoon.
Top up the bucket to the 23L mark.
Give the wort (liquid) a good stir for 5min to get air into it.
Then wait till the wort gets to pitching temperature take the SG and pitch the yeast.
Let it ferment for 10days (approx) or until you have a Gravity reading the same for three consecutive days.

Not too bad! Would up the Corriander and Curacao Orange Peel next time. you have pour the the Hoegarrden way (Pour 2/3’s into glass, Swirl bottle (to disturb yeast bed in the bottle), Pour rest to form head) if you don't you get a clear wheat beer! makes a normal beer kit into something different!

I'm definitely planning a AG wheat beer soon. There is a great range of Wyeast available for this type of beer. I might try a fruit beer, perhaps with Raspberries.
