brewed a hefe

mike kennedy · May 10, 2008

my second AG, i made a hefe.

my crush.

mashing.

transfer to primary........split the batch.

fermenting......tiny krausen.

im kinda troubled about the size of the krausen.....hefes are supposed to be huge.

How many days in the primary? My american wheat took 72 hours and then within a day it was all over the laundry room

thats a really nice color!

acctually adjusted grain bill and hops for about 6 full gallons, i dont have the equipment to do 10, but more than 5.
i let it sit in primary for 12 days, krausen never got any bigger....i actually repitched yeast just to make sure it was done....it was done.

and ya, its a nice smooth looking brew.

What yeast did you use.

Just finished my second AG as well... also a hefe (American Wheat, Wyeast 1010). After opening the primary to bottle (after two week) there was just a very small krausen line; maybe 1 inch...

But it turned out tasting excellent going into the bottles, so no worries IMO.

Haha, looks like everyone did a wheat this weekend! I also did my second AG yesterday and went with an American Wheat using the Wyeast 1010. Nasty smelling dino fart bubbles last night...massive blowoff this morning!
