I just tapped my 10 gallons of German Hefewizen. I thought that I certainly could do better than the bottled beers. I think that some of them are not very fresh tasting! I think a Hefe should be really fresh and light and refreshing on a hot summer day.
My recipe is simple and meets all these requirements.
WBC's 15 to 19 day 10 gallon batch of German Hefewizen
60% white wheat = 12 LBS
40% german Pilsner 2 row = 8 LBS
Mash 150-152F 1 hour
Batch sparge
2 oz Hallertauer 60 min
2 oz Hallertauer 15 min
2 vials White Labs WLP300 yeast in 2ea 6 gallon carboys
Ferment 10 to 14 days
Keg at 60F with CO2 at 23 LB for 4 days
Reset pressure and temp: 38F @ 12 LBS CO2 for 1 day
and enjoy.
OR
Set temp to 38F and 12 LB CO2 for 7 days.
Enjoy
