5 1/2 lbs g. wheat grain
1 oz. saaz hops
1 wyeast #2565 kolsch
original grav. 1.048
60 min boil
 
its what the brew shop said to use, its actually a brew wholesale shop the sell to all the micro breweries in seattle area so i hope they know what there talking about
 
Ah, I didn't realize widmer was in fact an American wheat beer rather than something closer to a Bavarian hefeweizen. You should be fine.
 
Widmer is an American Wheat, not hefeweizen by strict definition. I brewed an Am wheat last week with s-05. for an Am wheat you want a clean yeast.

my recipe was a clean out the closet type...
