Tasting Notes
Nice and hoppy with a clean, crisp finish.
This recipe has become a staple in the kegerator. I have had a hard time keeping this one on tap for any length of time. It has been well received by the BMC drinkers, as well as my brewing buddies.

I have never made a wheat beer. What temperature sparge water do you use? Any difference than with regular beer grains?
 
Damn you guys and your tasty looking recipes. SWMBO says I brew too much as it is.
I just bought 55lbs of Wheat Malt, and have a pound each of Citra and Amarillo just begging to be used.

Any pictures?

Thanks!
 
I just brewed this today, but subbed in Centennial for the Citra.


47% 9lb Pale Malt, 2 Row, UK
47% 9lb Wheat Malt
5% 1lb Rice Hulls

FWH 60+ mins 0.5oz Centennial leaf 11.0
boil 10 mins 1.0oz Amarillo pellet 7..5
boil 10 mins 1.5oz Centennial leaf 11.0
boil 1 min 1.0oz Amarillo pellet 7.5

dry hop 2.0oz Amarillo leaf 7.5

Everything went perfectly (except the whole leaf hops clogged my valve!)
OG was 1.050.
 
Kegged the beer today and it tastes fantastic! I'm definitely brewing this again. Very refreshing, citrusy and crisp. It'll be a great summer beer! Finished at 1.010 with Safale US-05.

That is good to hear. Give WLP 029 or Wyeast 2565 a try next time.
 
Just tapped this keg and damn it is really good. That citra is amazing. Brewed the recipe as is and it is a fantastic summer beer. This keg won't last long. Kudos on the recipe and thanks for sharing!
 
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm down to about a half a keg of this. Used Columbus and Simcoe this time around. Brewing it again with citra and calypso this weekend. I plan on using wlp029 with this hop combination as it has turned out well the last two times I used them.
 
I'm brewing this 2moro. However I'm thinking of using wyeast 3068 any thoughts on that?
