2-Row Caramel Malt 40L; Briess
2-Row Caramel Malt 40L; Briess
Sweet, Caramel, Toffee. S Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 40L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden to light red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Juniper Berries (fresh)
Juniper berries are the fruits of an evergreen bush found in northern Europe and America. Juniper berries are used in wines, beer, brandies, and is the key flavor ingredient in gin. They are also used in marinades and sauces, especially for pork and game dishes. Usually used dried, they should be crushed before use to release their essential oils.

White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers.
Notes
Used Breiss rauchmalt - smoked with cherry wood. Used juniper boughs to filter wort between mashing and boiling. Added 0.5 oz juniper berries 5 minutes before flame out. Added 0.5 oz juniper berries as a tincture to secondary.

3 weeks post bottling. Carbonation is coming along. Brew is dry and clean with decent head. Some yeast suspended making it cloudy. Smoke flavor is not quite as intense as I had expected, but it is certainly the main player here. Little if any notes from juniper at this point, although there is a mild phenolic character present. Needs to age obviously.

This has aged some and is now much more well-rounded. The smoke is certainly present as is a definite berry-type fruit note which may be the juniper or it may be from the hops. Fairly dry with a slightly unctuous trait due to the smoke. I like it, but most of my friends are not fans - never having appreciated Aecht Schlenkerla either. This is a sipping beer.

Started to get quite good after about 6 months and now it is one of the better brews I have in my basement. A nice sweetness has balanced the astringent smokey flavors and this has added some needed complexity. Like candied bacon... yum
