Just finished a keg of this with the 3068 Weihenstephan yeast. It was nothing short of excellent.

I am not clear as to what sparging means. I saw that this recipe was labeled as Extract, but I thought sparging was a AG term/technique.

I searched the forum for a clear-cut answer to what this means but didn't seem to fine one that was clear enough for me.

I appreciate any clarification you might provide.

Cheers!

No problem, sparging is simply rinsing.

I rinse the wort off of the hops as I pour the top off water into the primary.

I use a nylon bucket net to capture the hops.

Well I tried two nights ago, it wasn't terrible but tasted a bit off. I haven't had a Paulaner in about a year so it's hard for me to tell if it's the same, I have to go find some. I'm hoping another week or two of conditioning will help this beer out.

This has been my go to beer for the masses. Everyone loves it, it's easy, and it is ready fast. I'm in the middle of brewing my 4th batch of it. So far due to availability I've used an unknown variety of hallertau (not sure which) mt hood, and also hersbrucker. Since it is only used at bittering there really hasn't been a noteworthy difference between any of them. I'm a bit bummed this time around though that my hersbrucker is only 2.4%AA. Anyhow, thanks again for posting this recipe, it's a winner!

I love wheat beer! I bought all the ingredients. I'm a little bit confused on how much to boil.


Steep: Crush malt. Steep in ½ gal water at 150F for 20 mins. Sparge with 1 gal 150F water. <--- 1.5 gallon at this point

Boil time: 60 minutes

Bring steeped malt to a boil then remove from flame. <--- Still 1.5 gallon?

Add hops and 1 lb XL DME and dissolve. Boil for 45 mins. <--- Still 1.5 gallon or add more water?

Remove from flame.

Add remaining malt 1 lb at a time and dissolve.

Return pot to flame and boil 15 mins. Remove from heat. <--- How much here? Will this boil down a lot after 45 minutes.

Sparge hops through net on primary. Top off to 5.25 gals with freezer water. Stir in.

I want to get this correct. I get tired of pouring out bad beer.
