They had a cheapo wheat beer kit at my LHBS for $15, so I bought three...
Here is the recipe as is...
_________________________________________________
6# Wheat LME
8 oz Flaked Wheat
8 oz Flaked Oats
3 HBU Hallertau Tradition (1/2 oz)
Safbrew WB-06 dry yeast
Seep grains at aprox. 160 degrees for aprox. 10 mins. Add extract. Bring to a boil and add hops. Boil for 60 mins, chill add yeast (re-hydrated).
My OG (for 5 gallons) was 1044 (July 27) and my FG was 1020 (Sept 29).
It tasted like piss when bottling. I tried it tonight (Nov 2) and it was better, but bland and clovey. Maybe that's from the yeast...

Kit one I made, I threw in an extra 1/2 oz of Chinook for the whole 60 minutes. It came out better than the one above and great with an orange.
Number two is so damn bland I need to do something...hops, flavor, anything!
My girlfriend suggested apricot puree, kind of like Magic Hat #9 and I'm going that route. How can I complement it with more hops?
Thanks.
