adjuncts in a belgium beer hoegaarden style

Post by 100.bottles »

just a quick question

Im about to make a Belgium style wheat beer hogaarden style recipe.. standard kit tin wheat variety recipe using no
extra grains. Using 2 orange zests and coriander and cumin.

I have had a good look at the threads on this forum about the style of beer, and its great thanks guys.
I'm a bit troubled as to what adjuncts to use....and which hop variety, I like the sound of using hallertau 20 g for a 20 min boil.
Any opinions ? I have thought about using 500 g light dry malt (to get the light color and head/body I want)
500 g dextrose
In using too much adjunct will result in a heavy beer.
Any suggestions

have a proper read of the thread, you need torrefied wheat (puffed wheat) to get the right cloudiness and flavour. you won't be able to get the very pale cloudy straw colour without going all-grain, but you can get pretty close on the flavour.
