So I know it probably wont really be true to a style but here is what I have done so far:
Original Gravity (OG): 1.056 (1.059 when adjusted for 68 degree wort)
Bitterness (IBU): 30.0
1 lb raw wheat steeped at 155 for 30 min
100% Dry Malt Extract - Wheat 6lbs (3 lbs added late, 20 Minutes (Boil))
60 Minute boil
0.5 oz Citra (12.3% Alpha) @ 40 Minutes (Boil)
0.5 oz Citra (12.3% Alpha) @ 15 Minutes (Boil)
white labs IV hefe yeast pitched at 68 degrees
I had been planning on soaking some lemon zest in vodka and adding it when I rack to my carboy. Now I am kinda obsessing with dry hopping w/ 1-2 oz Citra rather than adding the zest. Any thoughts? I know there are some dry hopped wheat beers out there. This is my 2nd batch, the 1st came out great. I just wonder if I am meddling too much
