Grain:
3# Torrified Wheat (Briess)
2#-12 oz American Two-row Pale
1#-8 oz Honey
4 oz American Crystal 60L
Hops:
.5 oz Apollo - 20 min
.5 oz Apollo - 10 min
1.5 oz Cascade - dry hop
Yeast:
Fermentis WB-06
1.045 OG
1.009
23 IBUsf
4.5% abv
Never used the WB-06 before and have read mixed reviews on it's ability to produce German hefeweizen character. The knock being it doesn't give off enough phenols I thought it'd probably fit pretty well into this concept of a somewhat mild hop-burst/dry hopped wheat beer. Thoughts on the combo of WB-06 with US hops? Almost forgot, should I do a protein rest? I'm planning on it but am not overly familiar with torrified wheat.
