Sunny Pineapple Wheat
Brewed: 07/06/2014 Kegged: 07/19/2014
 SheppyBrew's brewing schedule during the first part of the the summer of 2014 was pretty slow. The weekend after the 4th of July, I knew I had to brew something. I decided to do something in the Summer Lovin' Wheat family. For awhile I had been thinking that something with orange and pineapple flavors would be a good summer beer to have on tap.
I went to the LHBS with the base of Summer Lovin' Wheat as the recipe, but this new place didn't have any honey malt. I decided to just substitute a crystal 15 into this recipe. Just as I had done with the Un-Wheat, I decided to get my fruit flavor from frozen juice concentrate, this time pineapple orange juice.
Should be ready to drink in late July / early August. I do believe this will be a wonderful summer ale.
