I’m currently toying around with trying to create a clone recipe to a local beer call Razz Wheat by Jackie O’s in Athens, OH.
This is my first attempt at trying to create a recipe and I thought this might be a good start considering their description seems pretty straight forward.
http://jackieos.com/drupal/?q=beer/razz-wheatConsidering they use saaz hops and it is a wheat beer, what would someone recommend for hop additions in order to get the IBU’s into a normal range for a wheat beer. I know saaz is typically a finishing hop based on what I’ve read but it seems that I would either need to add a ton of hops late or do a relatively early addition to reach something in the range of 20 IBU based on toying with the beersmith app.
For a 5 gallon batch, I using 6 lbs of white wheat and 4 lbs of 2 row for the all grain for their 60-40 split and that appears that it will get me in the ball park of their 5% ABV.
