I'm pretty sure it's Roth.

If you are standing in front of, but your back facing, the Rathaus in Schweinfurt look across the open area (marketplatz) and up the road. It's on your right, just a couple hundred meters from the Rathaus. It is a fairly sweet HW. I've never been able to reach and maintain that particular sweetness and flvaor.

Any thoughts on these ?

Also does it make any difference if I use light DME instead of extra light DME ?

Thanks

Well, the thing is you have to use the proper yeast to get the flavor you want. If you didn't use a German HW yeast then you made something other the a German-style HW.

Technically speaking, all wheat beers are made of the same ingredients - a combination of wheat and barley, whether all grain, LME or DME. The main ingredient that makes them stand apart is the yeast. The yeast defines the character of the flavor.

I only have two left which is sad...it is definitely a crowd pleaser.

You know, I had mine in the primary for 34 days (I had a heart attack and couldn't lift, etc.). Mine came in as Best of Show and Best of Style...first contest ever entered...

I still smile to myself whenever some poster insist on drinking this right out of the primary to the keg. After it's done fermenting I always rack it to a secondary to clear out the sulfur odors and to allow more yeast to fall out. I will add some of the yeast back in if it gets too clear.

I usually will not drink my HWs if they are under 1 month old. I also have kept them for over 6 months and they are still quite tasty...enough to get compliments on anyway.

At which temp is the secondary for this weizen? Can I do it at the ambient temp?

I rarely secondary anything, particularly wheat beers.

My current weizen has been fermenting at about 62*F for the past week. I am taking it out of the cooler tonight to give it a couple of weeks at room temp. Then, into the keg for a couple of weeks of carbing and aging. Should be very nice by the time I get back from camping.

Hi all,

Thinking about brewing this up in a few weeks, but had a couple questions. What are people getting for IBU's? Also, what is normal for the style? Also, someone else mentioned the small boil, would it hurt this beer to do a larger boil, or is there no reason as everyone says it takes great as is? Is Munich Malt 10L the same or equivalent to the Briess 6-Row? Thanks in advance, can't wait to enjoy this brew in the heat of August here in Nashville.

Would there be any benefit in doing a partial mash version of this recipe? If so, does anyone have the grain bill available for a PM.

I haven't stepped into all-grain yet and I really enjoy doing the partial mashing.
