Description:
With spring & summer just around the corner (for the northern hemisphere anyway), this is a great refreshing beer to drink lots of on a warm day, being moderate in alcohol. The name comes from the fact that several fireflies (lightening bugs - Lampyridae family) magically appeared in the mash. This one won first place in the 2nd Annual Naked Pueblo Competition. |
Ingredients:
- 6lb Belgian Pils
- 4.6lb White Summer Wheat
- 9.6oz Flaked Oats
- 1.0oz 5.2% EK Goldings - 60min
- 0.5oz 5.2% Styrian Goldings - 10min
- 0.5oz 5.2% Styrian Goldings - @knockout
- 0.5oz Curacao Orange Peel
- 0.5oz Sweet Orange Peel
- 2.0oz Coriander Seed
- 5ml Lactic Acid
- Wyeast #3944 Belgian White Ale Yeast
- Several Fireflies
|
Procedure:
Mash & sparge your favorite way and don't forget the fireflies. Boil 10 minutes for break material then 60 minutes following the hop schedule. Add 1/2 of the orange peels and 1/2 the coriander 10min to knockout and the remaining orange peels/coriander 5 minutes to knockout. Chill & pitch. Ferment @ 65F. Mix 5ml of lactic acid to batch at bottling.
It takes about 3 months for this beer to come into it's own: the lactic taste (sour) blended in real well after that period. |
