Wheat beers aren't a favorite of mine, but I do enjoy one on occasion. Lately, for some reason though, I've really had a hankering for one. And I guess it's a good style to know how to brew. Even though I'm pretty much past the Hefe season I'm thinking about brewing one up. So here's a recipe I threw together. It's not quite the typical malted wheat/pilsner malt recipe so I thought I'd bounce it off ya'll to see if it looks good. I've got some carahell I need to use up anyway!
5.5 gal batch
5 lbs. wheat malt
4 lbs. pilsner malt
.5 lbs. munich malt
.5 lbs. carahell
.62 oz. tettnanger (60 min.)
.3 oz. tettnanger (20 min.)
fermenting with one of the traditional bavarian hefe yeasts
OG 1.052
SRM 4.5
IBU 12
EDIT: Forgot to mention I thought I would try out my first decoction on this one. A single-step decoction mash with a protein rest.
