I brewed a batch of hefe yesterday and wasnt exactly going for a Franzi clone but it looks like I came pretty close to MC's recipe. I used Crystal since I didnt have any Hallertau, and the IBUs may be a bit higher since I do no chill. I was planning on splitting the batch between WLP300 and US-05 but I may just go all hefe yeast since I have a 3/4 gallon starter bubbling right now. Anyone think this is worth pitching US-05?
