This recipe came out of a conversation with a friend’s wife, who told me her hubby ditched the keto diet because he couldn’t give up beer. I went to work on it right away, and came up with a reasonable facsimile. Start with some dried hops and Irish Whiskey. Soak 4 cups of hops in 750ml of Irish Whiskey. I used Jameson.
It’s like Guinness, but better. Steep the flaked barley and roasted barley at 150º F for 30 minutes before removing the grain and raising the temperature to a boil. Add the malt extract along with your hops and boil for 60 minutes. Chill and ferment at 68º F for a week to ten days.
The recipe is simple: Wheat malt extract comes blended as half wheat and half barley, and that’s exactly the mix we need. A touch of hops at the beginning of the boil will keep it from being too sweet. Use a German Hefeweizen yeast, and let it rip through fermentation.
