Lithuanian Lovin' Summer Lovin' Wheat
Brewed: 08/15/2020 Kegged: 08/23/2020
Late summer of 2020, I had been playing around with a Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast that I got from Great Frontier brewing company.
I had also had my beer supply fairly severely depleted with graduation parties and out of town guests, and thought I needed to do a big batch to catch up.
So ... I decided to take one of my wife's favorite recipes, Summer Lovin' American Wheat and double it. Then, ferment half the batch on the standard US05 and half on the Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast.
