Recipes 

6lbs of Muntons wheat DME
1lb honey
1/2 oz of sweet orange peel
1oz Cascade hops, half bittering, half flavoring.
Danstar Windsor dry yeast

This is a delicious wheat if you like orange in yours. Cascade plus orange peel equals citrusy. The Windsor leaves a bit of sweetness in case you like it. The pres of a brew club I recently joined confirmed that it was one of the best American wheats he's had.

I've seen a lot of people post good things about Dude's "B's Honey Wheat." I was tossing around brewing up something similar for all my light beer buddies. Along those lines, what yeast have you all used? I'm not a huge fan of the dominant banana/clove/phenolic notes of a characteristic Belgian Wheat, so I'm aiming for more subdued wheat tones. How do the American Wheat/Hefeweizen strains compare? I've thought of using a standard American ale yeast, but I don't want to get rid of all wheat character...just turn down the volume. Thanks.

Marc.

Dude: whats up with the mash schedule for B's Honey Beer ? I think it needs some time numbers for the other mash temps.

Thanks.

If you use a neutral yeast with that recipe, you won't get the overpowering banana/clove. I'm the same way--I didn't want that in this beer. I'd recommend safale-56 (1056 or WLP001) for it. I used the WLP320 and it was just what I wanted. I think that is actually the Widmer strain. However, a very good American wheat that I like, Boulevard wheat, uses 1056.

I didn't put it in I guess. I usually do a saccharification rest for 60-90 minutes, skip the mash out, sparge for about 45 minutes if I fly sparge.
Protein rest is key in that recipe with all of that wheat though.

The only honey wheat I have done is the kit from Homebrewadventures and it came out pretty good. I like Dude's recipe better. Go with an American wheat yeast if you do not want the phenolics of the german wheat yeasts.

"Protein rest is key in that recipe with all of that wheat though."

Yeah, I know about the step being necessary. That is why I built my steam boiler, so I could easily and quickly do mash steps.

Thanks for sharing all this, dude, like the yeast and all. I am definitely going to make this.
