I am about to do my first AG brew and wanted to do a wheat beer. I just started using BeerSmith so I, more or less, took a wiezen recipe from "Brewing Classic Styles" and tweaked it for my set up, and to fit in the Weizen/Weissbier guidelines. Here is what I came up with...
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Wyeast 3068 (2 packs)
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.051
Final Gravity: 1.011
Boiling Time (Minutes): 90 (*I chose 90 min because of the recipe I am reffering to in Brewing Classic Styles*)
Color: 4.0 SRM
5 lbs 2 oz of Pilsner (2 row) Bel
5 lbs 2 oz of Wheat Malt, Ger
3.6 oz Munich Malt
0.5 lbs of Rice Hulls
0.64 oz of Hallertauer Hops (90 min)
Mash for 60 minutes at 152 degrees F.
------------------------
My main concerns are the the addition of the Munich malt, which I did to raise the SRM, and the boil time. In Brewing Classic Styles it says to increase the boil time for All Grain from 60min to 90min to reduce DMS.
What do you think. Is this a beer worth brewing?
Oh yea, and maybe I should note my setup...(I set my efficiency to 65% on BeerSmith since it is my first time doing AG)
-48qt mash tun (There is only about 10.5 lbs of grain. I am hoping my mash tun isn't too big for this...)
-7.5 and 9 gal Kettles.
