Hefe Recipe - Feedback Appreciated

Goathouse · Dec 26, 2010

This my 4th homebrew and all is going well. I am attempting a shot at a simple Widmer Hefe. Based on some thread research here is what I have.

6.5 # Wheat LME
1# Munich
.5# Chystal 40L

.5oz Magnum (bittering)
.5oz Cascade
.5oz Willamette
1 tbsp flour

Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I think it looks fine, but you left out the most important part... the yeast!

Thanks. LOL. The yeast helps a little doesn't it. I am using Weast 1007. Thanks for the look.

The flour is probably unnecessary.

i'd leave the flour our as well. other than that, it looks great

Whats the purpose of the flour?

Are you doing a 60 minute boil? Do you know the times of each hop addition? I want to plug this recipe into beersmith to see more details on what you have created.

The flour was suggested from one source to help with the cloudy appearance of hefe, but I'll leave it out based on feedback.

5oz Magnum (bittering) - 60 min
.5oz Cascade - 35 min
.5oz Willamette -40 min

It will be plenty cloudy without it. Just dont use any Irish moss or whirlfloc...

Thanks Mixedbrewer.

And you could gently roll the bottle before pouring or pour the hefe in the traditional method (pour most of the bottle, swirl the dregs and pour into glass).
