Notes
I did a 2 hour boil. SRM will be much darker due to the long boil. You may need to make adjustments to the recipe to get the volume you desire. My boil-off rate is 1.25 gallons per hour.
Make sure you sample the beer beforehand to learn what the elderflower adds to the base beer. I used the Pear extract from here: http://www.naturesflavors.com/product_info.php?cPath=&products_id=4406
The WLP072 yeast is a Platinum Seasonal strain available Nov-Dec. I also had great results with Saison yeast for more earthy tones.
The back story on the name was a goof on my manly beer geek friends’ reactions to the ingredient list as I was working up the recipe.
eeeww!
Hence the Eau d Eau part. And it fit with the perfumey nature of the beer- Eau d Parfum.
I have since learned that Michelob made a version of this with Quince. Also there is a Martini called a French Pear that uses pear infuse vodka and ElderFlower liquor. There are many directions you can experiment with this beer.
