Raspberry Wheat Extract Beer Recipe Kit

Piece of advice

Don't waste your time using the extrac. While the intention is good by providing it, the real deal is using real Raspberries (around 1lb per gallon) and let that ferment in an secondary fermentation. You'll need the 2 weeks for the yeast, and then use another bucket/reservoir and pour the raspberries (frozen or fresh picked, make them pure in a sauce pan with a little water between 150-160°F between 10-15mins) at the bottom of the clean bucket/fermenter and let it sit for another 2 weeks. It will add so much flavor, color and aroma. Additional piece of advice, you may want to strain/mesh the raspberries puree, since seedless may clog the bottling wand and/or spigot. I didn't do it, and the flux of beer was so slow in each bottle that I really regret not tacking the time to do that. The final product will be sour and sweet with the full aroma and flavor of raspberries. You can try adding the extract at bottling day. I haven't try that but may do with the second badge I have. This is my favourite beer and do a lot of research to finally get it right

Got 2 kits and 1 of them had liquid yeast. If they would have put in a bigger ice pack or more than 1 tiny pack the yeast wouldn't have arrived warm. Or maybe not ship it over the weekend so it would have arrived sooner.

Great for the Spring!

Beer came out on the dot for abv. I racked the beer over fresh raspberries for color and some extra flavor in secondary.
