I have slowly been perfecting this recipe. It started from something I got on these boards so I want to give credit to the board. It is very good and people that try it say it is better then Blue Moon. At my last party, I had over 4 gallons in the keg, and ALL of it went at the party. This is unheard of so it must be good!
For kegging, I set pressure at 15psi serving pressure. This creates a really nice, very creamy head. This beer is very refreshing and if you like Blue Moon, wheat beer, or both, I think you will love this beer!
I do all grinding in a coffee bean grinder.
