Brewing a hefeweizen soon (probably in a few weeks)
It was my dad's beer request lol
I'm trying to be as traditional as possible, since my dad went to Germany this past October and is in love with German hefeweizens.
Here's the recipe:
5.5 pounds of wheat malt - 61% of malt profile
3.5 pounds of pilsner malt - 39% of malt profile
0.5 ounces of perle hop pellets (8.3% AA) @ 60 minutes.
Wyeast 3068 (traditional hefewiezen yeast)
Double enhanced decoction mash
Medium bodied (saccharification rest at approximately 153 degrees)
3.0-3.3 volumes of CO2 by krausening
Bottle conditioning in 12 ounce bottles
Fermenting @ 68 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 weeks
No secondary
