I want to brew just a basic Hefeweizen this weekend and since they do not have a kit at the local brew store I finally get to do my own from just ingredients. I found this basic recipe but some issues.
8.5 lbs Wheat LME
1oz hallertau hops
Wyeast
OG 1.050 FG 1.012
Boil 90min
First if I can't get 8.5 lbs of LME can I sub wheat DME? Second, 90 min boil? Why so long? Shouldn't a 60 min boil be fine. Third, this looks way to easy is it missing something?
