Mango Wheat!

In an effort to try something new and unheard of Alexa and I got to brainstorming on what kind of twist we could do on a wheat beer.  Kevin and I have had success with our Strawberry Kolsch/Wheats in the past, so this was old hat.  What else could we do that would make for a nice refreshing summer brew?

What is in season??  (besides strawberries).

Mangos are!  Just not local.  But hell they have been tasting great and are only a buck a pop at the local grocery.  Bring on the mangos I say.  Bring on....six mangos....for a nice small 2.5 gallon batch of all grain wheat and hops nectar.

First we must gather supplies!  Field trip to lovely Frederick, MD!
