Jour Hadique's Honey Wheat

So the honey wheat beer is officially kegged and done and amazing, and it received a cool rhyming name...whenever i get an idea maybe i'll make a label. None the less, here is a picture of the finished product...



Also it is pictured in my new Sam Adams Ultimate Beer Cup which for the most part is cool...over hyped, but cool


As for the beer, it seems the force carbonating worked, i think it probably could use a bit more carbonation, as it doesn't retain it's head to well, but it seems to be fully carbonated. As for the flavor, I must say this is the first homebrew that we have made here at 1055 that really tastes like a normal beer. Not saying that this i our best beer, I like some of the other ones better, but it doesn't have that homebrewed taste, that if some of you had homebrewed or tried homebrew, most of them have. This tastes like an actual commercial beer. Overall, it has a nice wheat characteristic, I really cannot taste the honey to much, other people claim there is more honey flavor in it then i can notice, but I do defiently smell it in the aroma

Also i am very happy with the irish moss and I am almost certain i will use it in future beers, as my beer is not as clear as a filtered but not as cloudy as an unfiltered.

Well, thats all you get about this one...stop on bye if you want to try one.

Honey Wheat Beer Part 2

Today we kegged the honey wheat beer, and from the small samples i tried I am very pleased with it. Only possible problem was there was a bit of stuff that could have been mold floating at the top, but we were able to keep that out of the keg (we are not exactly sure that it was mold though). Also, I was very impressed with the performance of the Irish Moss, at first I was quite skeptical about it seeing that I cannot imagine a teaspoon of grains clarifying a beer, but I was proven wrong. It ended up with a final gravity of 1.004, which left us with an alcohol content of 6.23% alcohol, which seems a little high for a wheat beer, but considering that we added so much honey I can understand it. As for taste, it is hard to tell as of right now since when the beer carbonates it really brings out the true flavors, but it seemed like a good solid wheat beer with the honey providing a good background flavor. We also realized our issues with kegging from last time (it ended up we conditioned and force carbonated), so we hope that this beer will have beer CO2 levels then our Stout, which although was amazing was a bit to carbonated. As for the look (pictures below), I kinda wished it was a bit lighter, but what are you gonna do...and the aroma seemed good...enjoy the pictures, in about 2 days i'll post final thoughts once i have it in it's full glory.

This here is a picture right before we took the final gravity. unfortunately in this picture it is hard to see the clarity, but you can easily see through it.

















Here is when we were racking it, just thought you might want to see this...party on
