Great. Glad to hear it.

"Hops: .5 oz (½ oz.) Hallertau Hersbrucker (6% AA) for 60 mins = 3%AA"

I have 3% Hersbrucker. Is .5 oz of 3% Hersbrucker ok, or should I adjust it up a few ounces? I don't understand the above quote from the original post as it pertains to Alpha Acid. Maybe just an equation or any advice would be very appreciated.

I went with 1 oz of of 3% Hersbrucker. I had a total boil over (while drinking the real paulaner), and probably completely aerated the wort while trying to dissolve wheat DME, (I'm thinking a whisk was a bad idea{while drinking the real paulaner}).

We'll see how it finishes...if it smells like beer and doesn't make me gag, I'll be happy.

I was looking at one of the clone books (don't remember which one). They had what looked like this recipe, but it called for Wyeast 3056, so I ordered a pack.

That will be brewed up soon, I will report back later on how it came out.

With 3% Hersbrucker you should go with 1 oz. not .5 oz. I was saying to use 3%.

As long as you are using a real German HW yeast it'll come out good.

Thanks HB Bill, for the reply and the recipe.

You're welcome.

Keep us posted on the outcome...both good and/or bad.

I brewed a batch up on Saturday. I'll let you know how it turns out. Right now it's stinking my dining room up to high hell. I guess that's a good sign. It's sitting next to an American Ale as well so I'm sure that doesn't help the gas situation.

This is my fifth batch of homebrew, so how long should I leave this in the primary? I was planning on transferring to the bottling bucket after ten days and letting it sit for another 7-10 to clear the beer up some. Does that sound like a good idea? I'm not sure what to do since this is a hefeweizen. I have yet to purchase kegging equipment. =)

Here's a pic of my brew. Nice and tasty!
