- Tasting Notes
- Creamy and Chocolaty Bavarian Wheat with it\'s signature Banana and cloves esters.
Fermentables:
8oz Chocolate Malt
4oz Biscuit Malt
4lb Wheat Dried Extract
5oz Honey
Hops:
.5oz Czech Saaz Pellets(5.8%) at 60min
Other:
1 Whirflock Tablet at 20min
Water
spring water
Yeast:
White Labs WLP380-Hefeweizen IV Ale
Instructions
Brew as you normally would. I added honey in the beginning because I
didn't really want the flavor or aroma. I just wanted the boost in OG.
I originally planned on adding .25oz of hops at the end but got distracted
by dropping my 6.5gal carboy full of sanitizer on the floor. Luckily I had an
additional carboy at hand.
I fermented at room temp with out using the swamp method because I wanted to bring out those beautiful esters that the hefe yeast provides.
I racked to the keg at 6 days so it is a bit sweeter than it would have been but IMO it makes it like a chocolate banana milk shake. I'll for sure brew this again and even possible make a weizenbock version.
