This weekend I plan to brew up a 12.5 gallon batch of beer. I'm going to divide up the wort into five seperate carboys (2.5 gallons into 3 gallon carboys) and pitch each with a different yeast. Earlier this week I was shipped the following yeasts (LHBS didn't carry them);
-Weihenstephan Weizen Activator Wyeast ACT3068- 4.25 oz.
-Bavarian Wheat Activator Wyeast ACT3638- 4.25 oz.
-White Labs Hefeweizen Ale Yeast WL300
-White Labs Hefeweizen IV Ale Yeast WL380
-Danstar Munich German Wheat Beer Yeast (I may or may not include this one in the experiment)
I'd like to keep the grain bill fairly simple. What would be a good grain bill and O.G. that would work well for all of these yeasts? Does a recipe with 1/3 Pilsner Malt and 2/3 German Wheat with a target O.G. of 1.050 sound about right? I'm looking forward to sampling all these beers side by side in a couple of months. Any input would be most appreciated. Thanks.
