She Who Must Be Obeyed Wheat Archive
She Who Must Be Obeyed Wheat is basically a combination of 3 of the Beer Model's favorite beers. It uses Marris Otter like Laser Salt. It has a pretty good portion of Biscuit and Caramunich like Buckwheat's BPA. It uses Tettnang, one of the hops from Ello Poppet. It is a wheat beer like the wheat beers that she likes so much.
It turned out so awesome that I decided to make it again with no changes to the recipe other than slightly lower Alpha in the Tettnang hops.

Brewing Notes: 08/19/2013 esheppy
Brew day yesterday went great (see SWMBO #HomeBrew Brew-Day). Active fermentation at 60 degrees early morning. Put in a blow-off tube.

66ish. Active. Good kraussen. Not sure I needed the blow-off tube, but we will see. delete

70. Still bubbling, but slowing down. Obviously did not need the blow-off tube, so I took it out.

Kegged.1.010 fg. That makes it 5% abv. Don't know what the wife will think, but I really like the flavor. Has a bit of almond. Yummy.

Tried this. Seems to be carbonated, but I'll keep it under pressure for a bit longer. Great flavor. Sort of Buckwheat meets Summer Lovin. SWMBO likes it too.

All gone. This was really a good beer. Probably will have to make this one again. Loved the flavor ... a bit of almond.
