I think that I am going to try a version of this recipe this weekend. Tell me what you think about the variation that I am going for.
.5# Flaked oats (steeped in grain bag for 45 min @ 150 degrees)
.5# Flaked wheat (steeped in grain bag for 45 min @ 150 degrees)
6# DME (Bavarian Wheat)
1# clover honey
1 oz Hallertau pellet hops (added at beginning of boil)
.5 oz Sterling pellet hops (added for last 10 minutes of boil)
Zest of 4 oranges and 4 lemons (added for last 20 minutes of boil)
Using German Wheat Wyeast W3333
Love the idea of the flaked oats/wheat... Gonna try this recipe this saturday.... What was your OG with this recipe? Also... How long in primary and did you put her into a secondary?
Thanks in advance! Stoked to brew this!
Primary for 2 weeks
Secondary for a little less than 2 weeks (bulk conditioning/laziness)
OG - 1.062
FG - 1.012
About 6.5% ABV before priming.
This beer smells amazing. I just bottled it yesterday, so I can't give you a report on the taste. I think it is going to be very tasty, but I'll let you know the results middle of March.
Brewed CucuzzaBrew's recipe on saturday (except replaced, the sterling with saaz and Wyeast for WL 320 Hefe)!
This beer smells awesome! Can't wait to try it!!! If it's as good as it smells, I'm brewing again soon!
I'm glad that I stumbled upon this recipe a little bit ago. I plan on brewing this today to get it ready for the first mowing of the lawn in a month or so. The only modification that I am thinking of doing is putting 1/2 of the zest in at 15 minutes, and the other 1/2 in just before flameout. I don't want all of the aroma boiling off for 15 minutes.
Does this sound reasonable or will it drastically change the flavor of the beer to the point that I should increase or decrease the amount, or is sticking with 4 oz. still a good plan?
Thanks, I made a batch today. I can't wait to see how it comes out.

I'm making my batch with Hefeweizen Ale Yeast (WLP300). It smells a bit like Bananas Foster. Maybe I should add a cinnamon stick next time.

Never got around to doing it. The only wheat beer I have been working on is a strawberry heff. Took a 3rd place with it last month but I don't think it's right yet.

3rd place eh? Grats! This recipe sounds great! We are finishing up our AG setup but if it is as great as you and everyone says, maybe try this one first.
