Homebrewing a refreshing peach wheat beer

I’ve been meaning to write a little more about my homebrewing experiences for a while, but just haven’t gotten around to it. So, here’s a foray into that. Last summer, I wanted to brew a refreshing warm weather beer to enjoy by the pool or after mowing the grass, and since I have a soft spot for peaches, I settled on a peach wheat beer. Although I tend to drink mostly hoppy beers, sometimes it’s nice to just have a lower ABV thirst quencher on hand, and that’s what I was shooting for.

The beer actually turned out to be exactly what I wanted. It was an easy drinker with a nice peach nose, and a hint of tartness at the end. I liked it so much that I entered it into the 2014 Dixie Cup, one of the oldest homebrew competitions in the country, that takes place in Houston, TX. To my surprise, it actually took first place in the Fruit Beer category. So, naturally I brewed it again recently, and I’ll be sending it back to this year’s Dixie Cup to see how it fares.

For those of you all grain hom
