Hello fellow beer nerds,
Anyone ever tried to boil for less than 60 minutes? I understand the boil is for hop bittering in the beer. However, I'm brewing a Dunkel Weizen, which isn't hoppy at all.
I simply ran out of time before I had to leave for work, do I needed to cut it short.
Anywho, here's the breakdown of the beer:
Midnight Dunkel
Malt:
6 LB - Wheat DME (60/40 Wheat/Briess Golden light)
Specialty grains:
1.75 LB German Plisen
0.75 LB American chocolate wheat
Hops:
1 oz Hellertau 2.7%
0.5 oz Tettnang 2.6%
Yeast:
WLP 300/Hefeweizen yeast
1.) Steeped specialty grains @ 155* for 30min.
2.) Sparse with 1G of water at 165*
3.) Remove from heat, stir in DME.
4.) Return to boil, add hops and boil for 60 min.
5.) Cooled to 73*.
6.) Pitched yeast and poured into fermenter simultaneously.
