Heffeweizen hops...?

[Geneticjim]

Hey all I grabbed german hallertau blanc instead of hallertauer hops. Is there a big difference? I am going to brew tomorrow and really don't feel like driving 30 min one way back to the HBS. If it's a big difference I will make the drive again.

Those are likely higher alpha acid (~10%) so you'll want to use less. Something like 1/4 oz @ 60

They are labeled as 7.2 alpha acid. The original recipe​ calls for 1oz of hops at 60 min boil. Then a 5 day dry hop for the same. I may skip the dry hop or just use 1/4 oz

Thank you!

I finally put the brew rig to use...
