I am getting ready to order the supplys to make cherry wheat beer for my gf and wanted to run it by some of you before I order it up. I'm farely new to this so I want to make sure I am on the right track before I brew something that is undrinkable. 1/2 # crushed crystal malt (steeped 45 mins) 3# light malt syrup 3# wheat malt syrup 2oz German hallertau hop pellets (Boil 1 oz for the whole hour add 1 oz w/ 15 mins to go.) 24oz can of cherries pureed (added 10 mins before flame out.) wyeast 3333 German wheat yeast Northern Brewers fast pitch yeast starter I plan on letting the beer sit on the yeast and cherries for 2 weeks in the primary before transferring to a secondary fermentor for another 2 weeks.
It looks drinkable. If you put the cherries in the primary, you can just let it ride for 3 weeks and skip the secondary. You won't be getting a lot of cherry flavor from 24oz., but it could be enough to be noticeable. Some people use 5#-10# of cherries.
