Wyeast 3942-Belgian Wheat

This one turned out pretty well. The recipe came from the Sam Caligione book, with no real modifications on my part. I cubed the kiwi fruit and put it all in a hop bag and steeped it for 20 minutes at flame out. I then dumped all the fruit out of the bag and into the fermentor. It looked pretty ugly as there was loads of scum amongst the fruit but it syphoned off fine. Dschinghis Khan were a German Eurovision entry in 1979 - I brewed the beer for our annual Eurovision party and it went down well, and a fair amount was drunk then. Still tastes good 6 months later. Out of the fermentor the kiwi flavour was really strong but it had all but vanished by the time it had conditioned which I thought was a bit weird but the kiwi had given the beer a really nice tang. I've used the same recipe but put passion fruit instead of Kiwi and it worked pretty well but had more fruit flavour. This a five gallon or so batch - though it says Bavarian Wheat extract, I just used the Muntons wheat extract.
