I was looking for a Apricot wheat but came across this recipe and I went for it. This is BY FAR the best beer I have done. Family and friends absolutely love it. I plan on doing this one again for the summer. There weren't many notes on this but I ended up adding the apricot puree to the primary. I also added 2 oz of apricot extract when I kegged. Thanks for this recipe!!
