Heya everyone. Joe here from NC.
Went to the local brewing shop this past weekend and got the True Brew starting kit with the glass carboy.
I asked about brewing a Hefeweiser first using a 320 yeast...He ended up not having the 320 or the 300..
So he put this together for me:
Safbrew WB-06 - Dry wheat yeast
(2) bags of Crosby & baker Cascade hop pellets
(2) cans Thomas Coopers Malt Extract -Wheat - 1.1 liter
Bag of Irish Moss (helps clear the beer) ?
Anyone have any comments on the above? Taste ?
Also gave me some instructions that I would like to have looked over and, if needed, altered. Will be using a turkey cooker for the process...
-------------------------------------------------------------
- Bring 2 gallons of water to boil
- Pour 2 cans of malt in.
- Stir till dissolved and bring back to boil
- Add one bag of hops
- Boil 45 mins.
- The last 15 min add 1 tsp. Irish Moss
-REMOVE FROM HEAT-
- Add 2nd bag of hops, stir, let rest for 5 min.
- Pour through strainer into bucket
- Add 4 gallons cold water, stir vigorously.
-When temp is 78°f add yeast don't stir.
Let this sit 5 days at room temp, before going into the carboy for 2 more weeks.
-done-
------------------------------------------------------------
Any comments on the above is very welcome! Also bought some of that iodine concentrate.
I intend to put together a keg system for the brew, and force carbonate. Still have to learn alot!
-Thanks
Joe
