Hokie Honey Wheat Ale
American Wheat or Rye Beer • Extract • 5.1 gal
I'm brewing this up on Friday and I'll be using Orange Blossom honey, which will be added at flameout. I may make a few changes here and there before brewday. Cheers!

White Labs WLP051 California Ale V
White Labs WLP051 California Ale V
From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.
Notes
Orange Blossom honey will be used, which I'm told imparts a citrusy flavor that I think will go along very well with the all-Cascade hop schedule.

Thanks for the recipe. I brewed this with only 10L caramel and .5 oz more cascade, but otherwise the same and I think its the best thing I've made so far. The orange blossom and cascade give it a very nice citrus-iness and hoppy flavor. Thanks again.
