Cranberyy wit

Wed Aug 25, 2010 2:57 pm

Does anybody have a recipe for a cranberry wit? Would love to recreate the Sam Adams cranberry wit from the long shot. Looking for an all grain recipe and I would prefer to use a frozen purée. Thanks

If its the same one from the longshot box from last year, I believe Basic brewing interviewed the gal at GABF in the episode:October 16, 2008 - LongShot 2008 Winners

I used 100% cranberry concentrate added to my not so Wit beer, aka bluemoon clone, and it was very nice. Basically its 50% wheat extract, 50% light extract, 1 lb honey, 8oz flaked wheat, 1oz orange peal (mix of bitter and reg) and .5 oz corriander. It depends on how fresh or the kind of corriander. I grind it up in my old coffee grinder, just a couple pulses. For a blue moon clone I use american ale yeast but you could add a real wit yeast. I then added the cranberry extract in secondary with some water to top up. I did not use the entire bottle, sample to taste and it will get more tart since the yeast eat the sugar.
