I opened my first bottle from batch 3 today, it's great, I can detect a little tartness which is what I was hoping for with the lactic acid addition. I will use the same recipe for batch 4, but only 1 yeast strain. Bottling this batch gave a better flavor, but I did tweak the recipe a bit, so...

Yes, I'm thinking of combining the yeasts - any pros or cons?

This will be my third all grain hefeweizen attempt. The grain bill is slightly different: 5 lbs. Weyerman floor malted Bohemian Wheat 5 lbs. Weyerman floor malted Pilsner malt 1 lb. Crisp Torrified Wheat 1 lb. flaked wheat 1 oz. Whole Hallertau hops I'm using tap water, but plan to add 2 ml...

My hefeweizen has been bottled for just over 3 weeks. The smell is nice, but the taste is a bit watery. I'm hoping this balances out with age, but since it's drinkable, I consider my first all grain brew a success. -Jason

I brewed up my first all grain recipe today, a hefeweizen. I used 5 lbs of Weyerman Bohemian Pilsner malt, 4 lbs of Weyerman floor malted Bohemian wheat, and 1 lb of Weyerman Abbey malt. I used 2 oz of Hallertau hops and a little yeast nutrient. I pitched Weihenstephan Wheat yeast, wyeast...

Hello, I've got my first brew, a Paulaner Hefe clone going. -Jason
