Notes
GRAIN NOTE: "Roasted Barley" should be "Franco Berge Roast Wheat", "Belgian Pale" = "Belgian 60L" and "German Wheat Malt Light" = "German Cara Wheat". Bring 3 qts of brewing water to 160 degrees. Steep grains covered for 45 minutes. Sparge with 3 more qts 160 water into kettle and top up to 6 gallons. Bring to rolling boil and dissolve malt extract. Boil for 80 minutes adding hops at 60, 20 and the very end. Cool to 85 degrees as quickly as possible and aerate well. Pitch yeast (1 qt starter recommended). Primary ferment 4 - 7 days, secondary 5 - 12 days. Raspberry extract goes in secondary or when kegging. 3/4 cup Corn Sugar for priming at bottling or just keg it.

Brewed this 10/9, kegged 10/24 and force carbonated for a party 10/27. Reaction was good. 1.5 ounces of raspberry extract seems right - not too overpowering, but a pleasant surprise. My wife likes this one a lot. My impression was a little rough around the edges, but that has mellowed with time in the keg. Now, a week later, much smoother and a fun flavored beer. Lemme know how this one goes for you!
