Inspired by Highlands Hollow ginger wheat beer, I was under special request to make something similar. Spoke with the bartender, and he had some idea about how it was made: 75% 2-row; 25% wheat; 3# fresh ginger in a 217G batch added during the last 5-10 minutes of the boil; wasn’t too sure on the [...] Needed a good hot summer day beer and was recently reminded of the Allagash White. Should have followed this recipe more closely since the one I used was based on an extract recipe. The gravity is a bit low and the real deal has does uses a blend of malted and raw wheat.

Working from this recipe as my guide, I’m attempting to do a single-batch replication using extract. 4# light dry malt extract Second batch of beer finished up — a Belgian Trappist Dubbel (double). Ingredients: 6 lbs Coopers Dry Malt Extract (DME) Made my first attempt at brewing beer last night thanks to Valerie’s thoughtful Christmas gift of a brewing starter kit.
