Oh yeah I too had some citrus notes and a bready malt character. I think you nailed it![emoji482]

Of course everyone's taste perception is different. What I was going for is more balance between all flavors. So my beer had the banana, clove and hints of bubblegum flavors. But they were very mellow, enough so that the wheat spiciness punched through. I also used the acid malt so I'm not sure...

Ok here is what i said in an earlier post , this batch was amazing !!! Finally! 5 attempts and it's perfect! The first was an extract version, my wife's favorite. Next 2 partial mash attempts. Lastly 2 all grain versions, with this last one bordering on phenomenal! I followed eds recipe exactly...

Sounds great! I'm thinking of brewing this on Black Friday. I will let you know. Thanks again for the info. Prost ! Jeff

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply.

Hi, I know this thread is a little dusty, but I saw this recipe and it looks fantastic! I was wondering if you could post some tasting notes? Also is there any commercial product out there you could compare this with? I love the Browns, I might give this one a shot. Nice job on the 2nd place @...

How many gallons in the fermenter? You sound pretty close I think I hit 1.065 with 5.75 gal.

Well I'll jump in! I shoot for 5.5gal in fermenter. I have a high boil off rate, maybe cuz I live @ 6850 ft above sea level. The weather probably is effecting it as well (10% humidity). So I shoot for 7gal in boil kettle. My mash for this recipe was 8.5gal total, its usually a little thin. I...

Well your starter question is a matter of debate. I have made a starter in about 95% of my brews. In my 4 previous weizen brews I made a starter and always had violent fermentation requiring a blow off. This last time I pitched the vial straight in. No starter as I wanted to under pitch and...

28544+4 gal= 28548

That is a good idea. I think I will try it.

Finally! 5 attempts and it's perfect! The first was an extract version, my wife's favorite. Next 2 partial mash attempts. Lastly 2 all grain versions, with this last one bordering on phenomenal! I followed eds recipe exactly except I added 2 oz of acid malt. My well h2o is extremely alkaline, so...

Bottled a Hefeweizen, I need to start kegging!

You won't believe this but it happened to me as well. It was also a kolsch. The bottom of the bottle literally fell off. No Glass shards or splinters anywhere. Like your mystery no sign of beer anywhere. This happened about 5 years ago. I thought maybe it was a defective bottle because the...

Sorry pulled trigger to fast. Why not brew another mild porter and blend to taste? Blending beer is actually pretty fun. You can experiment as well with blending other styles with the porter.

I would not dilute with water. Mine seemed to have an alcohol bite but it vanished after a month in the bottle. Why nit brew another

Can't add......?? 6735
