How did it turn out? I've been thinking about doing a hoppy wheat beer, and I like the way your recipe looks.

interesting. i'll keep this in mind fir next time. thanks for the advice! :D

I dont do mashing yet :( i use liquid malt extract

Nope, just added the 1 oz liberty hops at the end. Going to use another hop besides Saaz the next time.

Very good base i would say. Not hoppy at all. Used the wyeast kolsch. Will be retrying this recipe in the next month or 2

3pounds light gold malt 3 pounds pilsner malt Steeped some honey malt before adding extract 1/4 cup o wheat for body Added 2 oz whole leaf Saaz hops at beginning boil 1 oz liberty at 15 mins before end of boil. Will be ready on sunday. Thoughts on my recipe?

At the beginning of the third week, it tasted like most of the flavor had dissappeared and instead was becoming more bitter. Not...

Lincoln has a lot of local breweries i can believe that lol

Thanks for all the responses! I got the problem under control now. Much appreciated

If i cannot get a blow off tube today, should i keep an eye on it for the night? My local brew supply store is closed.
