Cranberry-Orange Wheat (Nova Scotia Xmas Punch)

Brewed by my wife Caitlin.

OG: 1.040
FG: 1.006
IBU: 25
SRM: 4.5
ABV: 4.5%

Batch size: 6G

Grains:
Wheat Malt, Ger (48 %)
Pilsner Malt (Shoreline Malting) (34 %)
Munich I (Weyermann) (18 %)

Hops:
10.00 g Simcoe [12.50 %] - Boil 20.0 min
14.00 g Simcoe [12.50 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 300.0 min, 194.4 F

Water:
Yellow Dry

Yeast:
Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) - 11.5g

Other/spice:
1.00 kg Blood Orange (Secondary 7.0 days)
1.80 L Cranberry Concentrate (Terra Beata) (Secondary 7.0 days) (~1500 cranberries!!! lol)

Other Comments:
This was a No-Chill batch hence the extended whirlpool; the hops are basically thrown in the no-chill cube and the wort is racked on so this roughly replaces the 10-20min hop addition

Fermenting: Brett Saison 2022, Schwarzbier, APA, Sour Brown,
Coming up: American Wheat (Fruited), Vienna Lager, Dortmunder

Great wheat beer! The cranberry presence was prominent with the orange a little bit in the background. I'm going to add this to my list for the spring / summer.

Had this last night. One of the rare times I’ve drank a beer blind and guessed mostly right: wheat beer with cranberries. The cranberry is very evident and comes through nicely with the tartness nicely balancing the wheat character.

I did sense something like diacetyl in this, but I don’t know that’s what it was. I do know I’ve sensed it in other fruited beers and have been told it can happen with fruit, especially blackberries. Meanwhile, I’ve never heard of diacetyl with us-05 (although I’m sure it’s possible). Regardless, it wasn’t overpowering or anything and the tartness and fruit kept the beer refreshing and I quite enjoyed it. Thanks!

Very tasty, refreahing, tart, and such a pretty colour. My wife ended up stealing this one from me, sadly... but I am lucky to have only had to sacrifice one of my decembeers to her. (Though my dad essentially stole one too around xmas time). Image

Also, your kids are going to be like master brewers if both their parents are this good.
