Description:

This beer was the creation of making a smooth wiess like beer, but not as sharp, to satisfy my girlfriend’s love for lemon flavored beer. It’s pretty strong too. Very good lemon aroma and soft sweet aftertaste. I have made three batches and each has been great!

Ingredients:

• 6.6 pounds Northwestern weizen extract
• 3 pounds light dry malt extract
• 2 pounds honey
• 2 ounces pure lemon extract
• 4 whole lemons
• 2 ounces Hallertauer hops
• 1 cup corn sugar for priming
• dry ale yeast

Procedure:

Boil 2 gallons of water, remove from heat and add the malt extracts and honey. Add 1-1/2 ounces of the hops at this time. Return to heat and boil for 50 minutes. After removing from heat, add the remaining 1/2 ounce of hops, the lemon extract, and the juice from the 4 lemons.

Chill wort to 72 degrees, transfer to primary fermenter and pitch yeast. Ferment for 7 days at 72 degrees. Rack to secondary fermenter and let sit another 7 days. Bottle and let sit for 4 weeks.

Description:

This had a very strong raspberry taste with a slightly coffee/dark malt and hoppy/bitter aftertaste. The raspberry taste is accompanied by a sort of astringency or acidity that will supposedly soften with age. It’s still very young for an Imperial stout.

Ingredients:

• 15-1/4 pounds, bulk light extract
• 3/4 pound, roasted barley
• 3/4 pound, black patent malt
• 3/4 pound, chocolate malt
• 2 pounds, English crystal malt
• 3-3/4 ounces, Bullion pellets (9.6 alpha)
• 1-1/4 ounces, Northern Brewer pellets (6.7% alpha)
• 2 ounces, Kent Goldings pellets
• 13 pounds, fresh raspberries
• 4 teaspoons, gypsum
• Sierra Nevada yeast
• 1 cup, corn sugar (priming)

Procedure:

This makes 6-1/2 to 7 gallons. This is based on Papazian’s recipe from the Summer 1990 issue of Zymurgy, except that I use more raspberries than Charlie. Follow his directions, or E-mail me for directions. (Directions are pretty standard.)

The Bullion hops and Northern Brewer are used for bittering and are added to the boil. The Kent Goldings pellets are used for dry-hopping.
