Howdy folks,
I've been busier than a pair of jumper cables at a hillbilly reunion, so I have not had chance to brew or peruse the forum. I just got back in town yesterday and thought I'd give my first AG Hefe a try. It's been in the kegerator and carbing at dispensing temp for 10 days.
WOW, that stuff is freaking AWSOME!
I've lived in Germany and I visit there several times a year, so I get my share of fresh Hefeweizen biers, and I must say that this one that I made ranks right up there. As a matter of fact, I think I just found my Hausbier, (one that will always be on tap right next to Apfelwein).
I got the recipe from Biermann, tweaked it just ever so slightly, fermented it two weeks in a bucket primary, racked it into a keg via the spigot on the bucket, carbed for 10 days at 10 PSI, and just wow. Oh yeah, it's 5.6% abv, so I found out last night that it has a very nice kick. I also have 3 bottles of Weihenstephan yeast (split off from the original mega starter) in the fridge waiting for the next batch.
I'm so stoked as this is truely a masterpiece in my own little world and I have the folks in this forum to thank. Here's to you Biermann and Homebrewtalk.com!
