Hi there, I have a few batches under my belt-Here's what i just did, and I wonder what anyones thoughts are...I just kinda fly by the seat of my pants when it comes to brewing.
I recieved a hefeweizen kit for christmas, so i decided to brew it today and add a bunch of extra hops. I did it on a wim because i had some left over stuff in my freezer, along with some frozen/fresh picked hops my buddy grew.
The kit recipe was this:
2 cans of Wheat LME
2 oz Liberty Pellet Hops.
it was 1 can and 1 oz for 30 min boil, then the other can and oz for 15.
My recipe ended up looking like this:
6.6lb LME-Wheat
2oz DME-Light
First addition
1 can LME & 2 oz of DME
1oz Liberty-pellet
1oz Chinook-Pellet
1oz Chinook-Fresh
Full Boil for 30 min
Then
1 Can LME
1 oz Liberty-pellet
0.50 oz Chinook-Pellet
1 oz Zeus-Fresh
1 tsp Irish moss
Boil for 15 then
1 oz Zeus-Fresh at flame out.
Yeast used was Wheat Beer Yeast WB-06
I let it sit @ 74 for about 2.5 hours, and I just moved it to my basement which is sitting between 60 and 63 degrees. Fermentation is active.
I love IPA's, Imperial IPA's, DIPA's etc...so I'm going for a really hoppy wheat beer.
Thoughts??
