re: Homebrewing: In-Process Thread

A pictorial update.

German Hefeweizen "El Jefe" - It came out good, but a lot of clove and banana flavors from this yeast. I'm assuming some will subside over time. Not bad though, but not sure if i'd brew again. It is, however, the clearest beer i've ever brewed. I was expecting it to be hazy, like most German Hefe's, but this cleaned up very nice.



German Hefe on blueberries "foxgate farms blue" - This was the hefe i brewed but split off and racked onto blueberries. As of a week or 2 ago, it wasn't very good. Too much of the banana and cloves mixed with the hint of blueberry wasn't very good. Yesterday, however, it is pretty tasty. The banana/clove flavors have subsided and the blueberry is a little more pronounced. Very easily drinkable beer. Also, has a beautiful pinkish color to it from the blueberries.



In the end, i'll just stick with American Wheat beers for fruited beers. I may try to submit this to the Robert's Cove Oktoberfest competition, since my oktoberfest i brewed won't be ready.
